Optimal Two-Dimensional Energy Management of Grid-Connected Thermal/Electrical Hybrid Energy System

This project is designated to develop a next generation optimal two-dimensional energy management algorithm for a novel grid-connected thermal/electrical hybrid energy system. On-site implementation of the model and algorithm will be phased into a real community at an undisclosed location for performance evaluation. The results of this project can be directly used by the partner organization to reveal new energy generation and management products, which will have tremendous market potential due to the upcoming energy strategy change, as the Government of Canada is committed to a historic climate change agreement at COP 21.
