The proposed Home Appliance Control System consists of a home equipped with smart appliances, grid, communication network and a Main Controller and it is based on appliance interference under certain conditions. Appliances are separated as controllable, semi-controllable and uncontrollable according to their effects on user comfort. Main Controller is not allowed to interfere with uncontrollable appliances, but with semi-controllable and controllable appliances as much as it is permitted. Appliance interference is done on real time in the order of appliance priority defined by the user due to expected power consumption and the grid limit. The corresponding control algorithm of Home Appliance Control System is also developed. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system on achieving the intended goals.}, number={3}, publisher={Süleyman Demirel University}
