METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN A POWER SUPPLY GRID

摘要

An energy management system of a power supply grid includes at least one control unit (CU) connected to distributed energy resource controllers (ERC) of energy resources (ER) of the power supply grid by means of a communication network, (CNW) wherein the control unit (CU) monitors communication links (CL) between the control unit (CU) and the energy resource controllers (ERC) via the communication network (CNW), and wherein the control unit (CU) is adapted to calculate a predicted operation behavior of an energy resource (ER) controlled by an energy resource controller (ERC) if a loss of communication or a communication bandwidth limitation of the monitored communication link to the energy resource controller (ERC) is detected.
