Modeling Session 2 - Hidden Modeling Gems in Renewable Energy and Storage Optimization

Problem

A university building is going to hold classes for a week, which requires electricity to run. and the demand for electricity changes due to the course load. There is a solar panel to provide energy and two batteries that can store it. Additionally, electricity can be purchased from the grid. The goal of the problem is to find the battery charge and discharge schedule that will:

  1. Minimize the total electricity purchased from the grid.
  2. Given electricity prices for each period, minimize the total cost of purchasing electricity from the grid. Markdown Monster icon
