The project develops a prototype optimisation software for scheduling of consumption, storage and distributed generation of electrical power in a Smart Grid setting. This software, named 'PowerScheduler', builds on SINTEF's general purpose scheduling engine, Scoop.Scheduler.
SmartPower
The goal of the SmartPower project is to demonstrate the usefulness of modern optimisation methods for demand response applications in energy markets. To this end, we develop a prototype for optimised power matching/load balancing in large scale Smart Grids, a highly complex optimisation problem.
