Abstract: Energy Management System (EMS) plays an essential part in realizing Demand Response (DR) in smart homes in the smart grid environment. Based on load priority, utility control signals and customer’s preference, EMS enables smart load control. This paper describes the hardware prototype of the Home Energy Management System that automatically switches the loads between the battery and electric grid thereby reduces the energy consumption from grid. The EMS is implemented in SPARTAN 6 FPGA board, which in turn sends control signals to the relays connecting the loads to the supply.
