An energy management model for energetic communities of Smart Homes: The Power Cloud

Facing the challenge to better manage the electrical systems, the paper presents an energy management model called Power Cloud, applied to an energetic community composed of producers/prosumers from renewable not programmable resources and consumers. Thanks to this model, the users belonging to the community can share the renewable energy resources, reducing energy supply prices, while they have a good management of their loads and resources. The paper presents first the actions of an aggregator who manages the community, then the activities of every end-user to participate to the management of the community.
