“…According to Wang et al (2018), quoted in [59], the HEMS allows for "optimal scheduling of each electrical appliance and distributes generators according to an objective function (e.g., the energy cost) predefined by the customer or an aggregator and according to some external information (e.g., weather, electricity price, incentive signal, etc.) in order to help residential customers to efficiently manage their energy consumption" [8]. Each method, such as the fuzzy logic model (a16), clustering technique (a3), DSM-based model (a15), and stochastic thermal model (a10), was proposed by a single study, which applies to a single appliance.…”
