Abstract: In recent decades researchers and companies around the world have developed proposals related to Home Energy Management Systems. This paper presents a review of the most relevant literature published on that subject focused on infrastructure, communication media – protocols, variables managed by the system, software and the role of the end user. For this research, around seventy energy management models were studied, and their main advances and contributions were analyzed. In addition, based on this review and the empties observed on existing home energy management models, a preliminary model is proposed. In the proposal, the main elements of the studied models are grouped and the new model is combined with external variables, which influence the implementation of the management system, to give the end-user its proper role as an active part of the electricity value chain, as a strategy to contribute with home energy efficiency providing new demand patterns.
