A Fuzzy Logic tool for household electrical consumption modeling

This paper presents a high-resolution model of domestic electricity use, based on Fuzzy Logic Inference System (FIS). The model is built with a “bottom-up” approach and the basic block is the single appliance. Using as inputs patterns of active occupancy (i.e. when people are at home and awake) and typical domestic habits (i.e. start frequency of some appliances), the FIS model give as output the starting probability of each appliance. A post processor enable the appliances start in order to create a one-min resolution electricity demand data. In order to validate the model, electricity demand was recorded over the period of one year within 12 dwellings in the central east coast of Italy. A thorough quantitative comparison is made between the synthetic and measured data sets, showing them to have similar statistical characteristics.
