Decentralized Optimal Power Flow for Low Voltage DC grids: An algorithm for online optimization on a physical environment

The DC Optimal Power Flow (DC-OPF) problem is a widely-studied topic in the field of power systems. A solution to the problem consists of minimizing the running costs of the power system, through defining the optimal operating state for each entity in the system, while adhering to a set of physical constraints. A lot of research has been...

A Smart Home: Main Control Unit and Nodes

In order to cope with various supplies and loads in an autonomous microgrid, a system of sensors and a control unit was developed. The goals of this system are to cope efficiently in the event of an energy supply shortage, and to prevent such events as much as possible. To achieve these goals, the aim was to manage energy in the system as...
