Abstract

In recent years, renewable energy resources have become increasingly important. Due to the fluctuating and changing environment, these energy sources are not permanently available. At certain times, e.g. a photovoltaic (PV) power plant can only generate little or no electricity at all. This is why energy management systems (EMS), which store, use and distribute the available energy as optimally as possible, have been strongly promoted and further developed recently.
