In this paper, we propose a novel energy management system (EMS) in which multiple homes cooperate. A buffer with a storage battery is needed to realize efficient power control in response to fluctuations in power demand and supply. Since there are problems such as economic cost and securing of installation place to apply the storage battery, it is conceivable to use electric vehicles (EV) instead. However, EVs need to be charged or discharged at home in preparation for traveling. The purpose of this paper is to propose a distributed cooperative energy management method for multiple homes based on EV state prediction and model predictive control (MPC). Finally, numerical simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
