Accomplishments this week
Home Assistant Automation Implementation [Integration Platform]
Defined shell commands and set up tasks in config yaml files for data publishing via the HA API
Grid Price Integration from Nordpool
- Configured retrieval of real-time electricity prices from Nordpool.
- Integrated Nordpool API into the optimization workflow to factor dynamic pricing.
- Implemented logic to optimize energy consumption based on real-time grid prices.
- Instantiated the grid price optimization problem using plp.LP
Challenges & Next Steps
- Sensor Deployment: I am awaiting final integration of sensors to obtain real-time load consumption data
- Performance Optimization: I need to fine-tune the grid pricing model for higher accuracy.
- Scalability: Need to expand the system to support multiple optimization strategies dynamically.
- Progress and Schedule
- Completed foundational tasks and progressing into real-time data collection and optimization refinements.
- Minor delays in sensor delivery [due to snow storm] could impact the timeline for model training.
- Action Items for Next Week
- Deploy sensors and verify real-time data collection.
- Train models using load consumption data
- Conduct further tests on the dayahead optimization strategy.
- Optimize automation workflows in Home Assistant.
