OPTIMISATION METHOD

A computer-implemented method of optimizing the performance of a reconfigurable power system is provided. The method comprises the steps of: receiving an operating profile for the power system; partitioning the operating profile into a plurality of sub-phases; performing a coarse optimisation routine of the power system over each sub-phase of the operating profile to derive a respective coarsely optimised configuration of the power system; performing a fine optimisation routine of each coarsely optimised configuration over its respective sub-phase of the operating profile to derive a respective finely optimised configuration for that sub-phase; and defining settings of the power system to implement the finely optimised configurations thereon. 本发明提供了一种优化可重新配置的电力系统的性能的计算机实现的方法。所述方法包括以下步骤：接收所述电力系统的操作配置文件；将所述操作配置文件划分成多个子阶段；在所述操作配置文件的每个子阶段上执行所述电力系统的近似优化例程，以导出所述电力系统的相应的近似优化的配置；在所述操作配置文件的相应子阶段上执行每个近似优化的配置的精细优化例程，以导出针对所述子阶段的相应的精细优化的配置；以及定义所述电力系统的设置以实现对所述电力系统的所述精细优化的配置。
