Information support of stakeholders in the management of energy systems: development and implementation of interfaces

Abstract

The object of this study is the process of providing informational support to stakeholders of the life cycle of energy to ensure strategic management of energy systems with renewable energy sources. The task to improve and develop information technologies applied to the management of complex energy systems and the issue of their socialization and perception by people were tackled. Considerable attention was paid to the task of data visualization in order to improve the perception of information by users. An important aspect of the interaction of energy life cycle stakeholders during the management of energy systems was explored and the need to ensure their involvement and trust in information technology was emphasized. The research considers the development and implementation of interfaces for a decision support system in the management of energy microgrids using renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind generators. The results include web application architecture design, user role assignment, user action modeling, and data visualization. Approaches to the distribution of stakeholder authority, database access, interface design and data visualization for full client support were proposed. It is noted that the proposed interface solutions are designed for a decision support system in the management of microgrids with different types of renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind generators. Summarizing the results, the relevance of the task to devise methods of information support and interfaces for strategic management of energy systems has been emphasized. The conclusions imply the effectiveness of the proposed solutions for the strategic management of microgrids
