Sustainable energy services to customers - a balanced choice and
coordination of energy generated by traditional and alternative
sources - are the subject of this new innovative book. The myriad
factors involved in modeling an effective sustainable power system
are overwhelming. The Green Islands project represents a decade of
work by over a dozen researchers who have developed a model
designed to utilize the potential of distributed clean resources.
The key is the proper use of Information Technology (IT).Sited on
two islands in the Azores, the project developed the model of
careful forecasting of demand and supply, down to the minute,
coordinating the output of conventional power plants, wind energy,
fly wheels, hydroelectricity, demand reduction, and even plug-in
electric vehicles to take full advantage of the clean resources
available. The energy contingencies of the remote islands are not
unique. The issues of integrating promising clean technologies,
such as wind, into a complex power grid are challenging in
geographically far-flung, island-scale, power systems.
Model-based sensing, communications, and decision-making algorithms
to coordinate adaptive load management (ALM) could enable customers
to utilize just-in-time (JIT), just-in-place (JIP), and
just-in-context (JIC) energy resources. The distribution of
flexible and efficient energy to customers is the goal. The model
the authors have developed could change the way power portfolios
are built. A new perspective for optimization of green energy is
presented in this book. Additional data provided online via
Springer represents a repository of real-world electric energy
systems and its IT-enabled smarts."
