Reviewer 2 Report
In the home, systems are solar energy, even though wind energy has been used as a
predictive model. To sum up, shortly the model below, which forecasts solar energy
harvesting using the expected sky conditions — as a cloud coverage of between 0% and
100%. Based on the above line, the author should define what is sky conditions, how it will be
used for solar energy harvesting and how the cloud coverage of between 0% and 100%
The Manuscript needs to be edited for grammar and spell check required. The authors are
informed to keep images, graphs and data tables in clear
In page no.6, the Pmax is the full production power of the solar array and How the
production of solar energy has been predicted in the next 24 hours based on equation (17)
In equation (16) the overall working time is Oh and their required times [αa,βa] for the
operation of these appliances where αa≤βa and αa,βa ϵ B. Here what is
Some of the Sentences are not clear in this paper check throughout the paper and English
correction needed. For instance “A special type of scheduling load is electric vehicles. In
addition to consuming energy from power grids to fulfill users ' transport needs, it
generates backup power for other domestic cargo within the intelligence community.” is
not clear
The proposed methodology is having some difficulties behind the problem analysis and
the motivational aspect of the system needs some more enhancements.

Reviewer 3 Report
The findings of the article on Hybridized intelligent home renewable energy management system (HIHREM) for smart home are comprehensive. The scientific proof of the article needs to include in the abstract for readability. Authors are strongly commented to add numerical outcomes in the abstract and conclusion. It is suggested to check the logical consistency for the Eq(8) and Eq(10), Kindly Clarify with mathematical proof.
Authors need to be more specific about the usage of parameters which is not explained with definition and corresponding parameters has been mentioned below for reference:
- Prediction of renewable energy
- Prediction of power consumption
Authors are informed to abbreviate the following terms: HAN, AME,HESS, PV, GAMS, BESS. “This modulation is intended to test the effects of renewable energies and BESS for undisputed consumption of energy using the ToU electricity tariff. The experiment is done with the modeler system GAMS, which provides numerical programming and optimization software. The above line does not provide intended meaning the author should check and clarif.
The writing of the paper needs an improvement in English Correction. There is a need to mention proper justification of proposed methodology in the abstract with their observed experimental results. The following citations have to be included in the revised version of the paper:

- The findings of the article on Hybridized intelligent home renewable energy management system (HIHREM) for smart home are comprehensive. The scientific proof of the article needs to include in the abstract for readability. Authors are strongly commented to add numerical outcomes in the abstract and conclusion.
Ans: This showed that the proposed energy scheduling method minimizes the energy consumption by 48 % and maximizes the renewable energy consumed at the rate 65 % of the total energy generated. A new model for smart homes with renewable energies is introduced in this report. The proposed HIHREM method achieves high performance and reduces cost-utility.
- It is suggested to check the logical consistency for the Eq(8) and Eq(10), Kindly Clarify with mathematical proof.
Ans: It is checked and verified
- Authors need to be more specific about the usage of parameters which is not explained with definition and corresponding parameters has been mentioned below for reference
Prediction of renewable energy
Prediction of power consumption
Ans: it has been included in the results and discussion section under the subsection (iii) and (iv)
- Authors are informed to abbreviate the following terms: HAN, AME,HESS, PV, GAMS, BESS. “This modulation is intended to test the effects of renewable energies and BESS for undisputed consumption of energy using the ToU electricity tariff. The experiment is done with the modeler system GAMS, which provides numerical programming and optimization software. The above line does not provide intended meaning the author should check and clarify.
Ans: This modulation is intended to test the effects of renewable energies using the ToU electricity tariff. Further, the experiment is done with the modeler system GAMS, which provides numerical programming and optimization software. Hence, The power cells are considered to be dispatch based on the machines with the capacity to absorb/distribute electricity as shown in the following limits: Home area network (HAN), Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), hybrid Energy storage system (HESS), Photo Voltaic (PV), Game theory based advanced metering system (GAMS), battery Energy storage system (BESS).
