Systems and Methods for Automated Model-Based Real-Time Simulation of a Microgrid for Market-Based Electric Power System Optimization

摘要

Systems and methods for real-time modeling of a microgrid. In an embodiment, real-time data is acquired from a microgrid. Predicted data for the microgrid is generated using a first virtual system model of the microgrid, which comprises a virtual representation of energy sources within the microgrid. The real-time data and the predicted data are monitored, and a calibration and synchronization operation is initiated to update the first virtual system model in real-time when a difference between the real-time data and the predicted data exceeds a threshold. Parameters of the first virtual system model can be modified to create a second virtual system model, and aspects can be forecasted for the microgrid operating under the modified parameters of the second virtual system model. In a further embodiment, market price information can be received, and optimization solutions can be generated based on the market price information.
