Smit, Wouter (author)Smart Grid scheduling problems are characterized by quickly changing situations and multiple external factors that cannot be controlled. Most smart grid research applies stochastic models over the total power consumption of a household or system to find a schedule that achieves an optimization, a balancing, or constraint satisfaction. While...bachelor thesis 2018
