The PowerMatcher - making the electricity grid smarter - Aldo Eismamfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2013 (http://www.osgi.org/CommunityEvent2013/Schedule)
ABSTRACT
Today’s energy market is rapidly changing. The percentage of renewable energy is growing fast, and more and more energy consumers are also generating energy. However, renewable energy sources, like solar and wind are uncontrollable and not always accurately predictable. To avoid black-outs and other problems, the electricity grid must become smarter.
In this talk I will present the PowerMatcher smart grid concept, and how its rapid adoption is enabled by OSGi and Eclipse technologies, as demonstrated in the Couperus field trial in the Netherlands.
The PowerMatcher is an innovative approach for smart coordination in the electricity grid, a scalable multi-agent system that optimizes distributed generation, storage and use of electrical energy.
In 2012, the development of a reference implementation for PowerMatcher on OSGi was started, and the result is now available under a research license from the newly founded Flexiblepower Alliance Network. The OSGi's service, component and configuration model enable rapid development of PowerMatcher solutions, from simulation to assembly and distributed deployment. Messaging between distributed agents is supported with Eclipse Paho, and a simulation toolkit has been developed using the Eclipse Rich Client Platform.
The first field deployment that is using the new reference implementation for PowerMatcher is the Couperus Smart Grid project, a new housing project with 300 energy efficient apartment homes equipped with an individual heat pump for heating and cooling. The PowerMatcher controls the heat pumps in such a way that it compensates generation imbalance of a wind turbine, within the capacity constraints of the local grid.
Please join us in making the electricity grid smarter!

This document discusses smart charging strategies for electric vehicles (EVs) that can help improve the economics of battery EVs. Smart charging involves monitoring the power grid and EV owner demand in real-time to adjust charging power online and avoid peak loads. This helps maximize the use of existing infrastructure and exploits electricity price variations to smooth out demand. An RFID system is also proposed to manage EV access and parking spot assignment at charging stations. An EV command portal would allow owners to monitor vehicle status. Overall, smart charging can optimize grid resource use, provide a cost-effective solution, and enable a faster EV market penetration while being environmentally friendly.
