Application of FARM to an IES scenario within the FORCE ecosystem

FARM supervisory capabilities for thermal energy storage

“…To demonstrate the capabilities of this method, it was applied to represent the response of the process variables of the test-case described in [6], which is composed of 3 sub-systems (Balance of As shown in Figure 2-3, two concentric hexagons are drawn in black color to represent the upper and lower bounds of all variables. The grey-shaded ring in between represents the NOR.…”

“…In this Section, the list of algorithms embedded in FARM, along with the latest improvements to FARM-Delta [6], are described. A brief overview of the method and the outcome will be provided for each of them.…”
