Decentralized Intelligence in Energy Efficient Power Systems

摘要: Power systems are increasingly built from distributed generation units and smart consumers that able to react grid conditions. Managing this large number of decentralized electricity sources flexible loads represent a very huge optimization problem. Both the regulatory computational perspective, no one central coordinator can optimize overall system. Decentralized control mechanisms can, however, distribute task through price signals or market-based mechanisms. This chapter presents concepts enable demand supply while enhancing efficiency It highlights both technological business challenges result realization these concepts, state-of-the-art in respective domains.
