Management of distributed energy systems on the basis of optimization methods and expert approaches

Currently, there is a development of various methods and approaches related to the management of distributed energy systems. Using them requires the collection of a large amount of information. When using rating assessments of the functioning of energy systems, a number of problems arise. In managing the resource efficiency of a distributed energy system, the issue of making a rational decision based on the use of information from two sources is essential: a formalized solution to the problem using optimization modeling and expert evaluation of its results. The need to combine such information is determined by the nature of the multi-criteria choice of resource support in the case of taking into account the set of monitored performance indicators of the distributed energy system in this task. Moreover, in most cases, solving the resource efficiency problem by one criterion reduces to a linear programming problem with continuous or integer variables. This paper shows how the assessment of the effectiveness of distributed energy systems is formed. An optimization model of the problem is developed and procedures for the expert evaluation of managerial decisions are formed. The results of the presented work are useful for managing complex distributed energy systems.
