Abstract
In modern power systems, a large supply of energy from renewable energy sources is often not synchronized with energy consumption. In order to ensure energy balance, it is necessary to increase its consumption during large generation from renewable sources. For this purpose, a digital algorithm for elastic energy management was developed. This article indicates the main assumptions of the algorithm and its hardware implementation. The JSON format was proposed for exchanging data between the hardware and software part of the system. The results of the presented simulation and experimental studies confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. A statistical approach was used in the simulation studies employing smart appliances in 1000 households. The presented results indicate that the implementation of digital energy management algorithms in local balancing areas employing smart home devices connected via communication interfaces will increase the potential for the use of electricity generated by renewable sources.
