Power Grid Converter Control Improvement Based On Contextual Data

Abstract

The current state of energy requires the development of new efficient approaches to coordinated management of the generation, conversion, accumulation and consumption of electrical energy in power systems of different levels, including for power systems built on the basis of the SmartGrid concept. The integration of electrical devices into a single system with the provision of a given quality of electric power consumption is achieved by using converter devices that allow the generators and consumers of energy dissimilar in the physical principle to unite in one network on the basis of the context. This system can manage large amounts of energy related data and have to be able to react in correct way when conditions real-time changes. The main goals are the construction of a context-dependent power management system that performs tasks related to forecasting and intelligent response to the actions of all electrical installations combined with converters into a single information environment for the purpose of rational energy use, operational management of normal and emergency modes of SmartGrid operation with regard to requirements for user comfort. The control system should be able to rationally manages energy, efficiently control normal and emergency conditions and to take into account the user comfort. Context-aware energy management system as a complex information processing system integrates such organization levels as: Renewable sources of energy; Power converters; Electrical devices; Digital sensors; User tasks.

Context Aware Control Systems: An Engineering Applications Perspective

“…In fact, it is supported by two-way com-munication between the utility and the electricity consumer. Here, the need arises of a context-aware system for the challenges of dynamics in the network [2]- [4]. Similarly, contextaware is present in the development of the aerospace industry [5].…”
