Planning based real-time control using DEMKit

There is a trend towards local energy markets in order to integrate renewable energy sources and controllable devices into the energy system. As a result the market size is getting smaller and making an accurate day-ahead planning as base for acting on these markets is getting harder. As a consequence, deviations from the offered planning are more likely to occur. In this paper, we propose a planning-based real-time control method to deal with such deviations on device level in order to follow the submitted planning as good as possible. The proposed method controls the devices in each house sequentially, ordered by their flexibility (from least flexible to most flexible) and aims to realize the planned profile as good as possible without deviating too much from the individual planning for the devices.
