Energy flux optimization in generation and storage hybrid systems

The aim of this paper is to analyze a propose for optimal power dispatch in a generation network to meet a given demand. The considered network is a combination of generation and/or storage dispositive which feed a given load. Generating elements may include fuel cells, wind, photovoltaic, etc. As storage devices we can consider batteries, flywheels and supercapacitors. The proposal is based on a system based on a predictive model that enables the optimization of an objective function under restrictions and allows incorporating various figures of merit (performance and/or economic) based on the satisfaction of various requirements control. The flexibility of the proposed methodology is illustrated by supplying power to a hybrid vehicle.
