Abstract:
Maintaining the continuous supply of electricity within smart microgrids is a challenging task, which becomes increasingly difficult with the growing integration of volatile Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Quick changes within the production behavior of these resources can disturb the necessary balance between demand and supply and may ultimately lead to blackouts within the grid. To prevent balance disturbances, electricity production and consumption needs to be coordinated and power needs to be shared among the participants within the microgrid. Facilitating coordinated behavior of grid entities and ensuring reliable operation of the microgrid in the presence of volatile RES requires sophisticated strategies for operating individual participants. In this paper, we present a modular framework to support dynamic energy distribution for atomic entities (producers/consumers) in holarchically organized energy grids. In particular, the framework provides production and consumption forecasting to enable intelligent strategy selection to improve the day-ahead control decisions for atomic entities. The proposed framework enables the bottom-up formation of smart mircogrid holons and represents a foundation for the formation and strategic coordination of participants in smart microgrids.
