To dedicated students (m/w/d) of electrical / mechanical engineering information and computer engineering or related disciplines we offer the opportunity to write a paid Masters thesis. The thesis will be conducted in cooperation with the Institute of Automation and Control Graz University of Technology.
Smart energy management systems for homes increasingly need to consider multiple energy sectors i.e. electricity heating and cooling in order to reach their maximum potential. For example surplus electricity from photovoltaics (PV) often is stored as heat in a thermal buffer by driving a heat pump or a heating rod. Varying electricity prices already provided by certain tariffs (e.g. aWATTar) and uncertainties in PV yield however make deciding on the best starting time and operating strategy difficult. We at BEST have developed a modular framework for energy management applications which answers such questions by formulating and solving an optimization problem. However this optimization takes time and systems often need to react quickly to changes in surplus electricity to avoid unwanted import from or export to the electricity grid.
