Energy Consumption Modeling in Wireless Sensor Networked Smart Homes

Smart home automation is the dwelling bridge of smart grid technology, as it
integrates the modern home appliances power consumption information over
communication networks in the smart grid system. Among all the appliances,
Heating, Ventilation and Cooling (HVAC) systems is one of the most primary
concerns. Since a great amount of power consumption is contributed by these HVAC
systems. Traditionally, HVAC systems run at a fixed schedule without automatic
monitoring and control systems, which causes load variation, fluctuations in the
electricity demand and inefficient utility operation. In this thesis, we propose a Finite
State Machine (FSM) system to model the air condition working status to acquire the
relationship between temperature changing and cooling/heating duration. Finally, we
introduce the Zigbee communciation protocol into the model, the performance
analysis of the impact of end-to-end delay over HVAC systems is presented.
