Abstract

This work addresses the problem of maintaining the balance between consumption and production in the electricity grid when volatile resources, such as wind and sun, account for a large percentage of the power generation. We present control structures for Smart Grid balancing services on three different levels: portfolio, larger scale individual power units, and aggregations of small power units. Our focus is on illustrating the connection between coordination and control algorithms.
