Periodic Reporting for period 1 - ICEBERG (Scalable Optimization of Power Systems with Flexible Demand and Renewable Supply)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2021-10-01 al 2022-02-28
The first ingredient is a novel approach for planning and simulating the dispatch of the system which exploits the structure of distribution networks and can scale to systems of arbitrary size.
The second ingredient is an original optimization framework for tackling uncertainty and non-convexity at every layer of the system.
The third ingredient is a novel implementation of this optimization framework in parallel and distributed computing infrastructure, which will enable the optimal short-term planning and real-time coordination of resources at all layers of the system.
The vision of ICEBERG is to break down the current barriers to renewable energy integration by mobilizing the as yet untapped flexibility that is present at all layers of the network. This will enable the achieving of ambitious sustainability targets with acceptable infrastructure upgrades and without any deterioration in the quality of electric power service, which consumers currently enjoy.
