Dynamic Organisation of the Household Activities for Energy Consumption Simulation

Taking into account inhabitants’ activities is a necessity for efficient power management, especially in a residential context. In this paper we present an agent-based modelling and simulation framework allowing precise description of the inhabitants behaviour. This framework provides household representation with dynamic organisation capabilities. After introducing the proposed processes, we demonstrate the capabilities of the system to represent coherently the household dynamic organisation in terms of constrained and emergent habits and response to unforeseen event (new electricity tariff and change of the household activities).
