Energy management and dynamic optimisation of eco-industrial parks

As a result of the increasing number of distributed energy resources (DER) in the electrical grid and their commitment to future market participation, control strategies for optimal operation of DER within microgrids gain importance. Ensuring a smooth, reliable and economic operation of a microgrid, requires an energy management system that dynamically fits the consumption to the production in combination with storage and vice versa. Quick response of an energy management strategy is crucial for a microgrid as compared to a conventional energy system. This paper discusses the possibilities offered by an energy management system in the operation of a microgrid. Various types of power management and control strategies, in particular for eco-industrial parks, are analysed and discussed. Subsequently, an environmentally friendly energy management optimisation technique is described in detail. The emphasis is placed on CO2 neutrality, energy management improvements and dynamical optimisation of electrical energy on eco-industrial parks
