Distributed control of a network of households with micro CHP systems
Description
We will work on pricing mechanisms to control the electricity supply of large numbers of micro Combined Heat Power (CHP) systems to the electricity grid. This type of electricity production differs from the current one: rather than a single-supplier multi-consumer markets it becomes a multi-supplier multi-consumer market. As a household can independently decide to switch on and off its micro CHP, the electricity supply may show large fluctuations, leading to instabilities of the electricity grid. An interesting control mechanism to match supply and demand is pricing.
