Prospective products and benefits of the Green AGH Campus Project: Providing scaled-down future smart grid experience

Abstract

Smart grid stakeholders have partially opposing goals. New tools and utilities are needed to reach them. The paper discusses prospective products and benefits of the Green AGH Campus Project. The project provides energy management infrastructure being a test bed for future smart grid solutions. It is based on three main components: an Advanced Distribution Management System, a Power Data Warehouse and a Simulation System. Coupled together, they are capable of providing advices regarding either optimization of grid operations, or its design and topology. The optimizations are multicriteria and multivariant balancing stakeholders' needs.
