The increasing number of consumer and household appliances causes the rise in home energy use. Therefore, home energy management (HEM) technology is essential to manage and reduce electricity consumption. The objective of this paper is to present an intelligent algorithm for HEM using rule base technique to manage the power consumption with demand response (DR) feature. The scheduling algorithm considers household loads according to the comfort level, customer preference setting and priority of appliance that can be managed at a given time. The algorithm guarantees the total power consumption to be below the electrical demand limit. To exhibit the performance of the proposed HEM, a number of simulations are carried out including DR signal from the network operator. The results show that the algorithm can effectively respond to DR signal, comfort level, customer preference setting and priority of appliance. Furthermore, the algorithm is simple to implement and has flexibility to control the appliances.

High phase order transmission system is being considered a viable alternative for increasing the power transmission capability of overhead electric power transmission over existing right-of-way. This paper presents the faults analysis of six-phase transmission system. In this context, fault analysis has been conducted on the Goudey-Oakdale 2-bus test system. The results of these investigations are presented in the form of typical time responses. The PSCAD/EMTDC is used for the simulation studies.Index Terms--Power transmission, power transmission fault, fault currents, power system simulation, multi-phase system, six-phase system.
