A home energy management (HEM) system is mainly used to improve the performance of the smart grid with the help of demand response enabled application for residential customer preference. Various developing countries continuous power supply is one of the problems which prevent the growth rate. So different methods can be proposed to increase the power generation and reducing the power demand by increasing the energy efficiency .One of the innovative technique is demand shifting. This paper aims at developing a demand shifting algorithm. The HEM system is developed in order to monitor the power consumption and time requirement for operation of various equipment & tries to shift the operation of certain non-essential and monitor the power consumption of individual equipment .It act as a modern home energy meter. The main aim of the system is reduce the peak power demand and tries to keep the load curve smooth without effecting customers comfort level. The HEM is developed using MATLAB and various scenarios are inputted into it and its output and its impact on the consumer is analyzed.
