Abstract

This paper presents an overview of two different perspectives that we take to smart energy systems, both in the power and the gas grid. The first is taking a distributed optimal control point of view, applicable to a network of households with production devices, but also with demand side control, and with power-to-gas facilities. The expected future market structure is also considered. The second perspective considers the physics of the power grid, and the full order models that we can build. A port-Hamiltonian perspective is briefly considered, and some questions about the coupling of the two perspectives are raised.
