Smart-Energy Operating-System - A Framework for Implementing Flexible Electric Energy Systems in Smart Cities

Systems in Smart Cities DTU Orbit (05/12/2018) Smart-Energy Operating-System A Framework for Implementing Flexible Electric Energy Systems in Smart Cities The Smart-Energy Operating-System (SE-OS) framework has been developed within the CITIES research project (www.smart-cities-centre.org). This framework enables a systematic approach for implementing flexible electric energy systems in smart cities. The SE-OS methodologies are based on methods for data analytics, cyber physical modelling, forecasting, control, optimization, IoT, IoS, and cloud computing. The SE-OS concept has being used for enabling flexibility and demand response in smart cities in a large number of demo project. Finally it is shown that SE-OS in combination with methods for energy systems (gas, thermal, power, biomass, fuel) integration can provide virtual energy storage solutions on all relevant time scales, ie. from minutes to seasonal storage.
