1. An energy-management system that manages energy within a predominantly closed power system, comprising:
- a processor;
a storage device coupled to the processor and storing instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising;
receiving, at a component driver, current status information for a component associated with the component driver;
constructing a performance model for the component, wherein constructing the performance model involves computing a cost function and a deficit function, and wherein the cost function and the deficit function are associated with an operating mode of the component; and
sending the performance model, which includes the cost function and the deficit function, to an optimization and control module to facilitate the optimization and control module to optimize operations of the component based on the cost function and the deficit function.
