Power-Flow-Optimising-Algorithm used in an Energy Management for Micro Grids

Abstract

This paper contains an overview about a power flow-optimising-algorithm and the usage in an energy management for smart low-voltage grids (micro grids). This algorithm is based on a clustering of a number of households to reduce the distance between consumers and suppliers and so to reduce the transport losses in low-voltage grids. Such a power flow optimising enables to accomplish the requirements on low voltage grids (f.e. a high number of photovoltaic systems or electric vehicles). Furthermore, the paper contends the usage of this algorithm in an energy management system and the results of some first calculations.
