Artificial Neural Network based Controller for Energy Management in a Solar Home in Algeria

Abstract

This work presents an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Algorithm using for Energy Management devoted to fulfill the energy demand of an on grid PV home with a backup located in Bou-Ismail (Algeria). To satisfy energy needs of the house, the energy management strategy used relies mainly on a local PV production. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm has been evaluated for a favorable week in July 2018 and an unfavorable week in January 2018 basing on the weather conditions of the Bou- Ismail location. The results show that the proposed ANN algorithm can reduce the energy consumption of the home without affecting customer comforts.
