Multi-commodity support in profile steering

Optimization of Multi-Energy Systems Using the Profile Steering Coordination Framework

“…Schoot Uiterkamp et al [11] extended PS by replacing the steering vectors with matrices, e.g., x becomes X. Each column X c represents an energy carrier c ∈ C, and the desired profiles for multiple energy carriers are sent to a device at once.…”

“…In practice, the energy consumption/generation of one energy carrier depends on the consumption/generation of another energy carrier for these devices. In [11] a weight w c for each carrier is chosen, such that e m becomes a weighted sum.…”

“…To allow the joint optimization of multiple energy carriers, matrices have been used. However, the approach presented in [11] only minimizes the (weighted) Euclidean distance to the desired profile. This is no problem when all energy carriers have a connection to the main grid.…”

“…The penalty elements for the candidate profileÔ are obtained likewise. The resulting improvement e m is obtained by calculating the improvement in Euclidean distance, similarly to the method described in [11]:…”

“…This subsection presents an overview of the PS algorithm which includes aforementioned extension, summarized in Alg. 1, which is based on the work presented in [6], [9]- [11]. Refer to aforementioned literature for more in depth details.…”
