Abstract
The present invention is a system and method for optimizing power on a smart grid network. The system includes one or more units, such as a smart home, each having a control center with a historical database. The control center is in digital communication with a network component of a smart grid. Historical data including a soft window period and a hard window period representing acceptable start times for one or more flexible ADLs are stored in the historical database. The network component receives historical data for the flexible ADLs from multiple control centers. The network component, which creates a schedule based at least in part on the historical data and transfers energy to the control center according to the schedule. While scheduling, the network component manages peak load, energy tariffs, penalties, forecasting of non-ADL demand, and forecasting of supply over the scheduling horizon among other things.
