Controlling the distribution of energy resources on a smart grid
First Claim
1. A resource distribution method in a smart grid system that includes a plurality of devices in a plurality of stages, comprising steps for:
- calculating available resources for each device based on a budget and price data at each stage;
calculating reference resources for each device based on historical data including resource consumption at previous stages;
determining reserved resources for each device based on the available resources and the reference resources for each device;
comparing the determined reserved resources with required resources for each device; and
classifying the devices based on results of the comparison wherein each device is classified into an S-device with surplus resources if the determined reserved resources are more than the required resources for said each device, and into a D-device with deficiency resources when the determined reserved resources are less than the required resources for said each device, the D-device being one of a non-shiftable device, a controllable device and a shiftable device; and
calculating a resource bargaining unit (RBU) if a total amount of the surplus resources satisfies all non-shiftable D-devices and satisfies minimum requirements of all controllable D-devices, whereinthe RBU is iteratively distributed to all D-devices, anda size of the RBU at a k-th iteration of each stage is determined as being the smaller one between a minimum value of a gap that is between the required resources and currently allocated resources for each device, and a value of the total surplus resources at the k-th iteration divided by a number of D-devices of which the required resources are not satisfied, k being a positive integer.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a smart grid system and a method for distributing resources in the system. The smart grid system according to the present invention comprises at least one non-shiftable device; at least one controllable device; and at least one shiftable device; wherein price data are provided at each stage, the non-shiftable device is always provided with its resource requirements, the controllable device is provide with resources in the range of its resource requirements, and the shiftable device has its nominal resource requirements but not allowed to be provided with resources at the stage when resource price is highest.
