Abstract
A household energy management method that treats the home as a unit-commitment problem: EV chargers, water heating, space heating and storage are committable units; occupant comfort and service needs are constraints; building fabric and hot-water tanks are energy stores; and a scheduler commits all units jointly against price, generation and weather forecasts at any price interval. Disclosed properties include derived interruptibility, export-versus-consume arbitration, deficit-based EV charging from vehicle telematics, fleet staggering within shared price windows, supervisory override of device-native schedules, verified dispatch with meter reconciliation, and silent-failure detection
