Multi-criteria RES/storage planning tool

An intelligent flexible control/operation strategy to be deployed on the system control unit. The overarching objective of developed strategy is to enable optimal operation of integrated IDEAS system which considers optimal energy dispatch in a multi-carrier energy environment with locally generated renewable energy, available energy storages and possible exchanges with the power grid. Moreover, operation complexity is further increased when variable energy pricing (ToU-time of use) schemes for both import and export are applicable, together with the flexibility on the demand side which may be used to increase overall system efficiency and cost effectiveness. This will be completed under task 4.1.
