EFFICIENT METHODS FOR ALLOCATING CONTROLLABLE LOADS FOR DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT (DSM)

Abstract

Due to the growth of regenerative generation in Germany, energy is increasingly being generated and used in the distribution network. In order to maximize the utilization of the regeneratively produced energy, the consumption must follow the volatile generation in the future. This can be achieved by means of information technology and control of generators, consumers and storage devices for electrical and thermal energy. The task in this research project is therefore to develop efficient methods to allocate a defined power schedule for a group of controllable loads. Thereby local restrictions for the loads and network restriction should be considered. The objectives of this dissertation work are: 1. Development and Implementation of load allocation method under consideration of local and grid restrictions. 2. Test and Review of the method on an example grid
