Description

Background

Sustainability has become an imperative requirement on many infrastructures and systems of our society with the impending energy crisis and environment deterioration.Power grids are being transformed into Smart Grid with advanced sensors, information and communication technologies.In smart grid, the energy flow will become two-way between the grid and consumers with renewable energy generations, which will be monitored and controlled by sensors, smart meters, digital controls and analytical tools. Smart Grid usually introduces Demand Response (DR) and Distributed Generation (DG) to improve energy consumption and generation efficiency.

Purpose

  • Community level Microgrid based system scheme is designed to make the sustainable energy usage more affordable for ordinary residents.
  • Dynamic residential DR with enhanced user-agent interaction is designed for user's preference adaption.
  • Shared Cost-led Micro Combined Heat and Power (CHP) management strategy is designed to increase the DG utilization and reduce energy consumption cost.
  • Vanadium Redox Battery (VRB) is management for environment adaptive discharging.
