Multi-Scale Optimization Framework for Smart Energy Systems Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre
A localized smart energy management system comprises a plurality of controllable loads (11), at least one intermittent energy source (13a-13b), a selectively connectable dispatchable energy source (14), and optionally but preferably an energy storage system (12). A method for balancing power production and power consumption of such localized smart energy management systems (10) in real time comprises performing a coarse-grained optimization in a first layer (103) of a hierarchical optimization structure to generate a predicted schedule, based on long-term load demand profiles (108) and ...
