Demand and time-of-use optimization for load control with application to residential nanogrids

本地发电和存储在住宅纳米电网的功能中起着关键作用。住宅纳米电网需要独立运行，而不依赖当地公用事业公司的电力。房主可以购买一种设备，使他们能够管理太阳能电池板产生的电力，存储在电池中的电力，以及负载的消耗，以最大限度地减少对当地公用事业的依赖，特别是在用电高峰期，当电力成本更高时。拟议的研究项目汇集了SFU和Rainforest Automation的研究人员，目标是开发计算方法，以优化当地太阳能发电和电池存储提供的有限资源下负载的功耗。该项目的成果将用于加强热带雨林现有的产品集，并创建一个新的产品线。

Local power generational and storage play a key part in the functioning of a residential nanogrid. Residentialnanogrids need to run independent and not rely on power from the local utility. Having a device thathomeowners can purchase that would allow them to manage the power generated from solar panels, the storingof the power in batteries, and the consumption from loads to minimize their reliance on the local utility,especially around peak usage, when the cost of power is more expensive. The proposed research project bringstogether researchers from SFU and Rainforest Automation with the goal of developing computational methodsto optimize the power consumption of loads given limited resources provided from local solar powergeneration and battery storage. Outcomes from this project will be used to enhance Rainforest's existing set ofproducts as well as create a new product line.
