Abstract

To bridge the gap between undergraduate electrical engineering curriculum and the modernizing electric power grid, Smart Home Testbed projects are ideal for undergraduate student design and research programs. Observed the fact that Smart Home Testbed projects are small-scale and short-term, a three-layer design and its implementation on a Raspberry Pi system-on-chip (SoC) platform is proposed, aiming at fast prototyping and quick idea verification. Two Smart Home Energy Management (SHEM) prototypes for time-of-use and real time pricing demand response programs, respectively, are implemented. An example demonstration project, which consists of a hardware setup, Python-based SHEM modules and Web based user interface, is shown. The demonstration and case study verified the effectiveness of the proposed DR ready Smart Home Testbed on the SoC platform.
