The smart grid system is key to the new electrical network in -
frastructure. It takes into account the use of the new information and
communication technologies (ITC) and the integration of the renewable
energy power generation (photovoltaics PV, concentrated solar power
CSP, wind, etc). The smart grid promises better management and control
of energy sources. The application of the smart grid, especially, in Alge-
ria allows the optimal control of the electricity demand since the latter
keeps rising continuously. The use of smart grid allows the rationaliza -
tion of the electricity consumption in smart homes through appliance
automated control. Input energy savings result in the reduction of c
emission. Herein, we present a new energy management strategy tested
in an experimental smart home (SM). The implemented management ap-
proach was made possible by using a new electronic system that allowed
the control of all appliances via the internet network. For this purpose, a
dynamic monitoring web interface was developed under an open source
platform in order to process the whole data delivered by the system. The
final output of the system which consists of a balance between all types
of energy involved, including CO2 gas emission, is displayed. It is only
then that the user can take adequate decision and establish the priorities
for rational use of the energy available.
