Fig. 8. Impacts of different forecasting methods on individual energy management.

a Schematic diagram of edge home energy management for flexible energy resources. Edge intelligence enables smart meters to manage local energy storage, controllable household appliances, electric vehicle charging, and energy market participation based on predicted loads. b Comparison of the electricity cost, renewable energy accommodation ratio, and carbon emission for a non-intelligent strategy and various edge intelligent methods. The experiments were conducted on 30 buildings and houses in the BDG2 and CBTs datasets for 180 test days. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
