Aims of the teaching
A microgrid is a small electrical network composed of decentralized energy resources, loads, and energy storage devices. It is controlled and operated locally. It can connect or disconnect from the main grid.
A microgrid is run by multiple controllers because there are several levels of control, which differ by their spatial and temporal scopes. Next to technological advances in production, consumption, and storage, controllers are crucial elements for advanced microgrids.
In this course, we apply optimization and machine learning to microgrid optimal control, optimal design, and forecasting.
