Clarification about Genetic Algorithm and Time-of-Use Controller

There is currently a discussion in German about similar topics, which should answer some of your questions: (Can you translate it automatically?)

P.S.: What is the meaning of the different options in the Core Energy Scheduler in OpenEMS Edge Felix page? Is it something related to the Genetic Algorithm too?

Code

  • LogVerbosity allows for easier debugging
  • Version: v1 can only optimize a Battery and is stable, v2 is able to combine all kind of Controllers, but is in an ALPHA state (running in production on only a few actual systems)
  • RiskLevel is not yet implemented. It’s meant to add some variance e.g. in the cost function for low/high risk.
