Title:
CONTROL DEVICE OPTIMIZING EVALUATION OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN IN-PLANT ENERGY NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/029722
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A control device optimizing evaluation of energy management in an in-plant energy network includes an input section, a computing section, and an output section. The computing section: computes, based on input information, an output value of an energy generation unit and an output value of an energy storage unit and when the in-plant energy network includes a controllable energy load, also a demand of the controllable energy load, as value settings by means of a predetermined optimization algorithm for each one of time steps into which an operation period is divided and for each one of predetermined levels of the energy storage unit; gives a weight to each edge from the levels of the energy storage unit for one of the time steps to the levels of the energy storage unit for a next one of the time steps based on one of transitional evaluation values obtained by means of a fitness function; determines, out of combinations of the value settings resulting in the transitional evaluation values for the time steps, a combination of the value settings for which a total sum of the transitional evaluation values for a first one of the time steps to a last one of the time steps is most positively evaluated, by means of a graph-theoretic shortest-path problem solving algorithm; and selects the combination of the value settings determined by means of the shortest-path problem solving algorithm as operational instruction values for each one of the time steps.
