Abstract:     Demand-side management (DSM) plays an important role in demand response (DR) system which increases energy efficiency in smart grid. The traditional demand side management focus on slashing peak-load in peak hours, but it does not consider about user’s comfort. In this paper, authors propose an intelligent energy management system and implement with the Intel Quark-based Gateway. To consider about user’s comfort, the authors provides an intelligent energy management system with three mode, (1) saving mode (2) personalized mode (3) comfortable mode, user can choose the mode for their need. In saving mode, it gives serious consideration to save energy and achieve the standard of reduction. In personalized mode, it saves energy according to user’s priority list. In comfortable mode, user only need to set their minimum comfort tolerance level previously, and the system supplies energy saving and user’s comfort keeping. This paper is of great significance in implementing more user-friendly demand side management way to make user become more active in the energy system.
