Projekt: This collaboration explores the dynamic intersection of control theory, mathematical programming, and power system operations. It aims to design an intelligent, adaptive, and highly scalable method for the real-time operation of renewable-based energy systems within modern power grids. To this end, an advanced distributed control strategy has been developed and applied to support decision-making under uncertainty in the real-time dispatch of renewable-based virtual power plants.
