Priority-Based Smart Household Power Control Model

In the paper, we present the design and implementation of a priority-based Smart Home Simulation (SHS) system. The system architecture as well as particular device types used are described with a detailed presentation of the consumption planning and control mechanism. The SHS system is based on the multi-agent approach, where the global consumption control is driven mostly by the inter-agent communication. Unlike other works in this field, the presented communication model is designed to be usable even with low-performance controllers with limited computational power. The low performance of the controllers does not substantially limit the overall planning and control capabilities of the whole system. The theoretical foundations of the main system ideas are graphically presented in a real-world example simulation.
