Multi-objective home appliance scheduling with implicit and interactive user satisfaction modelling

Abstract Residential consumers desire to minimize electricity bills while maximizing comfort by appropriate appliance scheduling. The conflicting nature of the objectives facilitates a multi-objective formulation that can provide a set of trade-off schedules enabling better decision making. In literature, user preference or comfort regarding each device at each time instance is obtained explicitly. In addition, scheduling interval of 1-hour is considered because reducing scheduling interval to 1 or 5 min drastically increases – (1) the dimensionality of search space and complicates the search process, and (2) the number of time instances for which the user has to explicitly provide the preference resulting in human fatigue. However, it is essential to schedule the devices at lower scheduling intervals to precisely-estimate the electricity consumption due to the presence of high power devices such as microwave that operate for shorter intervals (
