Abstract
The current energy transition implies fundamental changes in energy
systems, in both their structure and operation. In this context,
microgrids have the potential to reshape the traditional power grid,
empowering the role of small-scale renewable power generators towards
more sustainable, cost-effective, and reliable energy systems.
Microgrids are operated by energy management systems whose development
is driven mainly by the contributions of technologies for
distributed energy resources and techniques for optimal planning
of loads. Yet, little attention is given to the design of such systems
as software tools, whose capabilities are often limited because of
a monolithic structure. We postulate that such systems need to
intertwine both perspectives if microgrids are going to become
a realised potential. We therefore propose a novel design of an
energy management system that considers both perspectives and
is based on the principles of service-orientation. We implement
the proposed design into a service-oriented energy management
system prototype and we run simulations with real data to test its
feasibility.
