Research
Multi-Carrier Energy Management by Distributed Control Agents
In the course of the energy transition in Germany and other parts of the world, conventional power plants are replaced by Renewable Energy Generation (REG). Due to its volatility, new energy storage systems and innovative grid control techniques are required to ensure safe grid operation. By coupling different energy domains (e.g. power, gas and heat) additional synergy effects can be created through the optimization of power flows. For example renewable electric energy can be used to lift the temperature in district heating networks, in times of high REG, instead of curtailing the REG.
Research is aimed at achieving an optimal temporal and spatial coordination of producers, consumers, storage systems, and energy converters in coupled electric power and district heating networks. The complex task of multi-carrier market-based energy management is solved by a transactive control approach. Thereby, market and control mechanisms are designed in a concerted complementary form.
