feed-back<br />

Fig. 5. Re-schedul<strong>in</strong>g based on the behavior request<br />

be re-scheduled. In this case, the power demand <strong>of</strong> the stove can partially be<br />

balanced 2 by feed<strong>in</strong>g-back from the mobile energy storage. This potential is<br />

highlighted by the shaded area <strong>in</strong> the lower diagram. The car’s battery has been<br />

discharged dur<strong>in</strong>g the feed-back process. The charg<strong>in</strong>g process is scheduled to<br />

the early morn<strong>in</strong>g by the SHMD. This is a period <strong>of</strong> low demand. Thus, the<br />

demand <strong>of</strong> the house can, to a certa<strong>in</strong> degree, comply with the given behavior<br />

request, and, accord<strong>in</strong>gly, to the predicted load <strong>of</strong> the local grid.<br />

7 Conclusion<br />

In this paper, a hierarchically structured observer/controller architecture is applied<br />

to control a smart-home, to <strong>in</strong>crease the energy efficiency, and to avoid<br />

overloads <strong>of</strong> the low voltage grid. The <strong>in</strong>tegration <strong>of</strong> electric vehicles raises the<br />

potential <strong>of</strong> re-schedul<strong>in</strong>g the energy demand <strong>of</strong> a smart-home. Thisisachieved<br />

2<br />

The power demand <strong>of</strong> the stove is higher than the max. feed-back power <strong>of</strong> the car’s<br />

battery.
