D7.2b Implemented distributed MPC based thermal energy control system

The present deliverable reports the implemented software framework for the supervision of the Smart Thermal Energy grid. In particular, starting from the specifications defined within the deliverable 7.2a, a software environment have been developed, including: - a modelling environment developed in python language, where constraints and objective functions are defined and customized - an application interface to Gurobi solver, used to calculate the optimal solution of the mixed integer programming problem integrating generation unit commitments and power dispatch control over the thermal energy network. - A user friendly human machine interface, developed on top of Movicon HMI, enabling end-user interaction with the software without specific knowledge on mathematical programming, optimization and python programming. In particular, the overall optimization framework, during run-time execution, operates as a service of the Movicon HMI application.
