An Architecture of the Technology Platform for Computer Modeling, Design, and Optimization of Intelligent Integrated Energy Systems

Abstract

The paper presents an architecture of the technology platform for computer modeling, design, and optimization of intelligent integrated energy systems. The platform architecture includes the following components: platform structure, composition of its systems and approaches to the interaction between these systems, basic structure of the library of software components, their interfaces and mechanisms of integration into the platform, and system of ontologies. The proposed architecture of the technology platform provides a solution to the problems of control of the intelligent integrated energy systems expansion and operation. To this end, the software implementation of methods, algorithms, and models is done as a repository of software components that are suitable for re-use. Based on the proposed architecture, we have developed a software prototype of the technology platform. The software prototype was employed to study the operating conditions and the control over them during the integration of electricity and heating systems. The calculations performed suggest that it may be feasible to employ the platform with the proposed architecture for intelligent integrated energy system studies.
