  The home energy management problem has many different facets, including
economic viability, data uncertainty and quality of strategy employed. The
existing literature in this area focuses on individual aspects of this problem
without a detailed, holistic analysis of the results with regards to
practicality in implementation. In this paper, we fill this gap by performing a
comprehensive comparison of seven different energy management strategies, each
with different levels of practicality, sophistication and computational
requirements. We analyse the results in the context of these three
characteristics, and also critique the modelling assumptions made by each
strategy. Our analysis finds that using a more sophisticated energy management
strategy may not necessarily improve the performance and economic viability of
the PV-battery system due to the effects of modeling assumptions, such as the
treatment of uncertainties in the input data and battery degradation effects.
