Ένα εργαλείο βελτιστοποίησης για τη διαχείριση σε έξυπνα μικροσυστήματα

Abstract

This project deals with the promising technology of micro-generation and the energy supply chain network in residential scale by proposing an optimization tool for the management of smart micro-grids. Firstly, the problem is being demonstrated by examining a network of houses that can not only produce the demand heat and electricity but also, interchange electricity between them and with the main grid. Secondly, a mathematical framework is being created and used for the optimization of the operation and the energy supply of such a system. The objective function of the model is being demonstrated taking into account the submission of all costs involving in the system, aiming to minimizing the total cost of the micro-grid. Thirdly, two main case studies consisting of several instances are being presented so as to underline the importance of choosing the appropriate scope for the problem in question. As a second part of the project, a graphical user interface (GUI) has been created so for the user to be easy to formulate the problem as wanted by modifying all the input data based on the problem statement, and at the end to obtain all needed graphs, figures and tables scoping in understanding the result of the optimization. The analysis concludes with some outcomes and potential for future research.
