Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of optimal scheduling of an aggregated power profile (during a coordinated discharging or charging operation) by means of a heterogeneous fleet of storage devices subject to availability constraints. Devices have heterogeneous initial levels of energy, power ratings and efficiency; moreover, the fleet operates without cross-charging of the units. An explicit feedback policy is proposed to compute a feasible schedule whenever one exists and scalable design procedures to achieve maximum time to failure or minimal unserved energy in the case of unfeasible aggregated demand profiles. Finally, a time-domain characterization of the set of feasible demand profiles using aggregate constraints is proposed, suitable for optimization problems where the aggregate population behaviour is of interest.
