●概要：Distributed energy management for districts with local energy
production, consumption, and storage capabilities is recognised as a
much promising approach for sustainably covering our future energy
needs. The operation of these so-called "energy hubs" also offers a
wealth of challenges for control engineers, as it requires the
coordination of multiple decision makers, each solving their own,
typically large-scale energy management problem. We discuss how
methods from optimisation and game theory can be deployed to address
some of these challenges. Specifically, we show how individual energy
hubs can solve their intra-hub energy management problem by a novel
model predictive control formulation that enables long preview while
keeping in check the size of the optimisation problem that needs to be
solved. We then discuss how the actions of different hubs can be
coordinated over a network based on a game theoretic formulation and a
pricing scheme for inter-hub energy exchanges. The presentation is
based on joint work with Varsha Behrunani.
