Introduction
Smart system integration and aggregation group of the Institute of Power and Applied electrical engineering is specialized research group focused purely on smart energy systems.
The group is fully integrated within the Institute of Power and Applied electrical engineering and is present in several projects within the institute. However smart grids and smart energy systems is strongly progressive area of power engineering and therefore it deserves more comprehensive focus.
The group is operating laboratory of virtual power plants, performing modelling activities, especially optimization modelling, demand&response, domestic consumption pattern analysis.
Objectives
The prime objectives of the group are:
- Functionality of virtual power plants
- Optimisation modelling of advanced electrical networks
- Smart grid communication
- Aggregation of virtual power plants into the power system
- Demand & response
- Domestic/industrial electricity consumption patterns.
