    Today the energy resource management in realizing the prosperity concept as the aspiration of Indonesia people tends to threat the sustainability of living environment of Indonesian people that, in fact, also becomes the objective of state to protect all Indonesia people and all areas of Indonesia. Based on the explanation of this background, the problems in living environment-based energy resource management for Indonesia people arise. Those problems include first, the legal-politic in managing the energy resource today; second, inconsistency of legal politics in the energy resource management towards the sustainability of living environment and third, legal politics in managing the living environment-based energy resource in future. This is a normative research that concluded that first, normatively and sociologically, the management of the energy resource today tends to ignore any values of living environment-based local wisdoms. Second, capitalism and liberalism in energy resource management today tends to threat the sustainability of living environment of Indonesia people. Third, in future, there is a need for legal politics of the integral, comprehensive and continuous living environment based energy resource management

    This paper presents a context analysis methodology to improve the management of residential energy resources by making the decision making process adaptive to different contexts. A context analysis model is proposed and described, using a clustering process to group similar situations. Several clustering quality assessment indices, which support the decisions on how many clusters should be created in each run, are also considered, namely: the Calinski Harabasz, Davies Bouldin, Gap Value and Silhouette. Results show that the application of the proposed model allows to identify different contexts by finding patterns of devices' use and also to compare different optimal k criteria. The data used in this case study represents the energy consumption of a generic home during one year (2014) and features the measurements of several devices' consumption as well as of several contextual variables. The proposed method enhances the energy resource management through adaptation to different contexts.The present work was done and funded in the scope of the following projects: European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 703689 (project ADAPT); EUREKA - ITEA2 Project M2MGrids (ITEA-13011), Project SIMOCE (ANI|P2020 17690), and has received funding from FEDER Funds through COMPETE program and from National Funds through FCT under the project UID/EEA/00760/2013info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    O aumento do consumo energético em edifícios residenciais tem levado a um maior foco nos métodos de eficiência energética. Deste modo, surge um sistema de gestão de energia residencial que poderá permitir controlar os recursos energéticos em pequena escala dos edifícios, levando a uma diminuição significativa dos custos energéticos através de um escalonamento eficiente. No entanto, a natureza intermitente das fontes de energia renováveis resulta num problema complexo. Para resolver este desafio, esta tese propõe um escalonamento energético baseado na otimização robusta, considerando a incerteza relacionada com a produção fotovoltaica. A otimização robusta é um método emergente e eficaz para lidar com a incerteza e apresenta soluções ótimas considerando o pior cenário da incerteza, ou seja, encontra a melhor solução entre todos os piores cenários possíveis. Um problema de Programação Linear Binária é inicialmente formulado para minimizar os custos do escalonamento energético. De seguida, o objetivo desta tese é transformar o modelo determinístico num problema robusto equivalente para proporcionar-lhe imunidade contra a incerteza associada à produção fotovoltaica. O modelo determinístico é, assim, transformado num modelo do pior cenário possível. Para validar a eficiência e a eficácia do modelo, a metodologia proposta foi implementada em dois cenários sendo cada um deles constituído por três casos de estudo de escalonamento de energia, para um horizonte de escalonamento a curto prazo. Os resultados da simulação demonstram que a abordagem robusta consegue, efetivamente, minimizar os custos totais de eletricidade do edifício, mitigando, simultaneamente, os obstáculos referentes à incerteza relacionada com a produção fotovoltaica. É também demonstrado que a estratégia desenvolvida permite o ajustamento do escalonamento dos recursos energéticos do edifício de acordo com o nível de robustez selecionado.The increase of energy demand in residential buildings has led to a higher focus on energy efficiency methods. This way, the home energy management system arises to control small-scale energy resources on buildings allowing a significant electricity bill decrease throughout efficient scheduling. However, the intermittent and uncertain nature of renewable energy sources results in a complex problem. To solve this challenge, this thesis proposes robust optimization-based scheduling considering the uncertainty in solar generation. Robust Optimization is a very recent and effective technique to deal with uncertainty and provides optimal solutions for the worst-case realization of the uncertain parameter, i.e., it finds the best solution among all the worst scenarios. A Mixed Binary Linear Programming problem is initially formulated to minimize the costs of the energy resource scheduling. Then, this thesis's purpose is to transform the deterministic model into a trackable robust counterpart problem to provide immunity against the photovoltaic output uncertainty. The deterministic model is transformed into the worst-case model. To validate the model’s efficiency and effectiveness, the proposed methodology was implemented in two scenarios with three different energy scheduling case studies for a short-term scheduling horizon. The simulation results demonstrate that the robust approach can effectively minimize the electricity costs of the building while mitigating the drawbacks associated with solar uncertainty. It also proves that the proposed strategy adjusts the energy scheduling according to the selected robustness level

    Complex Large-Scale Energy Resource Management Optimization Considering Demand Flexibility

    As renewable energy sources penetration is increasing in the power distribution network, an energy aggregator can provide a highly flexible generation and demand as required by the smart grid paradigm. However, this energy aggregator entity needs adequate decision support tools to overcome the complex challenges and deal with a number of energy resources. So, the energy resource management is crucial for the aggregator, to increase the profits, reduce the operation costs, reduce the carbon footprint and also to improve the system stability. Thus, this paper proposes a model for a large-scale energy resource scheduling problem of aggregators in a smart grid. Also, it is compared the performance of five evolutionary algorithms to solve this kind of problem. A realistic case study is performed using a real distribution network in Zaragoza, Spain. The results show that load flexibility can contribute to the profitability improvement of the aggregators' entities.This work has received funding from Portugal 2020 under SPEAR project (NORTE-01-0247-FEDER-040224) and from National Funds through the FCT Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, under Project UIDB/00760/2020.

    Robust Energy Resource Management Incorporating Risk Analysis Using Conditional Value-at-Risk

    The energy resource management (ERM) problem in today’s energy systems is complex and challenging due to the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources with uncertain behavior. Despite the improvement of forecasting tools, and the development of strategies to deal with this uncertainty (for instance, considering Monte Carlo simulation to generate a set of different possible scenarios), the risk associated with such variable resources cannot be neglected and deserves proper attention to guarantee the correct functioning of the entire system. This paper proposes a risk-based optimization approach for the centralized day-ahead ERM taking into account extreme events. Risk-neutral and risk-averse methodologies are implemented, where the risk-averse strategy considers the worst scenario costs through the conditional value-at-risk ( CVaR ) method. The model is formulated from the perspective of an aggregator that manages multiple technologies such as distributed generation, demand response, energy storage systems, among others. The case study analysis the aggregator’s management inserted in a 13-bus distribution network in the smart grid context with high penetration of renewable energy and electric vehicles. Results show an increase of nearly 4% in the day-ahead operational costs comparing the risk-neutral to the risk-averse strategy, but a reduction of up to 14% in the worst-case scenario cost. Thus, the proposed model can provide safer and more robust solutions incorporating the CVaR tool into the day-ahead management.This work was supported in part by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) through the Operational Program for Competitiveness and Internationalization (COMPETE 2020), under Project POCI-01-0145-FEDER-028983; and in part by the National Funds through the Fundação para a Ciância e Tecnologia (FCT) Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, under Project PTDC/EEI-EEE/28983/2017(CENERGETIC), Project CEECIND/02814/2017, Project UIDB/000760/2020, and Project UIDP/00760/2020.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Differential evolution strategies for large-scale energy resource management in smart grids

    Smart Grid (SG) technologies are leading the modifications of power grids worldwide. The Energy Resource Management (ERM) in SGs is a highly complex problem that needs to be efficiently addressed to maximize incomes while minimizing operational costs. Due to the nature of the problem, which includes mixed-integer variables and non-linear constraints, Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) are considered a good tool to find optimal and near-optimal solutions to large-scale problems. In this paper, we analyze the application of Differential Evolution (DE) to solve the large-scale ERM problem in SGs through extensive experimentation on a case study using a 33-Bus power network with high penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Electric Vehicles (EVs), as well as advanced features such as energy stock exchanges and Demand Response (DR) programs. We analyze the impact of DE parameter seing on four state-of-the art DE strategies. Moreover, DE strategies are compared with other well-known EAs and a deterministic approach based on MINLP. Results suggest that, even when DE strategies are very sensitive to the seing of their parameters, they can find beer solutions than other EAs, and near-optimal solutions in acceptable times compared with a MINLP approach.The present work was done and funded in the scope of the projects: Sustainability Fund CONACYT-SENER by Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT) and the National Center of Innovation in Energy (CEMIE-Eolico); H2020 DREAM-GO Project (Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 641794) and UID/EEA/00760/2013 funded by FEDER Funds through COMPETE program and by National Funds through FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Distribution system operation supported by contextual energy resource management based on intelligent SCADA

    Future distribution systems will have to deal with an intensive penetration of distributed energy resources ensuring reliable and secure operation according to the smart grid paradigm. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is an essential infrastructure for this evolution. This paper proposes a new conceptual design of an intelligent SCADA with a decentralized, flexible, and intelligent approach, adaptive to the context (context awareness). This SCADA model is used to support the energy resource management undertaken by a distribution network operator (DNO). Resource management considers all the involved costs, power flows, and electricity prices, allowing the use of network reconfiguration and load curtailment. Locational Marginal Prices (LMP) are evaluated and used in specific situations to apply Demand Response (DR) programs on a global or a local basis. The paper includes a case study using a 114 bus distribution network and load demand based on real data

    Distributed Energy Resource Management: All-Time Resource-Demand Feasibility, Delay-Tolerance, Nonlinearity, and Beyond

    Full text link
    In this work, we propose distributed and networked energy management scenarios to optimize the production and reservation of energy among a set of distributed energy nodes. In other words, the idea is to optimally allocate the generated and reserved powers based on nodes' local cost gradient information while meeting the demand energy. One main concern is the all-time (or anytime) resource-demand feasibility, implying that at all iterations of the scheduling algorithm, the balance between the produced power and demand plus reserved power must hold. The other concern is to design algorithms to tolerate communication time-delays and changes in the network. Further, one can incorporate possible model nonlinearity in the algorithm to address both inherent (e.g., saturation and quantization) and purposefully-added (e.g., signum-based) nonlinearities in the model. The proposed optimal allocation algorithm addresses all the above concerns, while it benefits from possible features of the distributed (or networked) solutions such as no-single-node-of-failure and distributed information processing. We show both the all-time feasibility of the proposed scheme and its convergence under certain bound on the step-rate using Lyapunov-type proofs.Comment: IEEE LCSS 202
