Abstract:
A system and method are provided for an energy distribution system having at least one energy storage system and at least one renewable energy resource. The method includes determining distribution optimal power flow optimization models of components of the distribution system. The components at least include the at least one energy storage system and the at least one renewable energy resource. The method further includes generating a composite model of the distribution system by integrating therein the distribution optimal power flow optimization models. The method also includes optimally scheduling, using a processor-based scheduling optimizer, an operation of resources in the distribution system using at least one of a fixed-window iterative optimization technique and a rolling stochastic optimization technique applied to the composite model.
