MULTI-OBJECTIVE ENERGY MANAGEMENT METHODS FOR MICRO-GRIDS

Systems and methods are disclosed for multi-objective energy management of micro-grids. A two-layer control method is used. In the first layer which is the advisory layer, a Model Predictive Control (MPC) method is used as a long term scheduler. The result of this layer will be used as optimality constraints in the second layer. In the second layer, a real-time controller guarantees a second-by-second balance between supply and demand subject to the constraints provided by the advisory layer.
