Abstract

The increasing interest in smart home technologies has created a need for a comprehensive literature survey. This article reviews the goals of a smart home energy management system, along with related definitions, applications, and information about the manufacturing of its components. The challenges associated with smart home energy management systems and possible solutions are examined, and the energy factors that contribute to a customer's electricity bill are discussed. A number of price schemes and the load models needed for solving related scheduling optimization problems are also presented, including a review of the literature related to energy management system scheduling with respect to its control, automation, and communication.

  • In Nordic countries, meeting the high demand for EV charging points during winter will challenge the electricity grid, especially on colder days when space heating use increases dramatically.

    “In particular, the installation and operation to meet the high demand for electric vehicle charging points during the winter of Nordic countries will challenge the electricity grid.This issue appears especially on colder days when the use of space heating systems increases dramatically [9].”

    From EV Overnight Charging Strategy in Residential Sector: Case of Winter Season in Quebec (2021) · cites this paper as [9]

    Section 3.3.6 (page unavailable) reports that optimized electric-vehicle charging reduces peak demand on a local distribution system, supporting a general connection between charging and grid load. Section 3.3.1 (page unavailable) considers space heating alongside a plug-in vehicle as household energy services. Neither passage addresses Nordic winters, colder days, charging-point demand, or a dramatic rise in heating use. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
