【 摘 要 】

Due to the importance of the energy resource management (ERM) in the energy community, several mathematical formulations have been successfully proposed to solve the problem. However, due to the very dynamic evolution of power systems and the transformation of electrical grids, mainly due to the development of smart grid technologies, traditional formulations, which were designed for an entirely different scenario, sometimes cannot deal with the problem efficiently. It is in those situations, where traditional approaches fail, that modern metaheuristic optimizers have demonstrated been a potent tool to face such challenges. In this paper, we present “Meta-ERM”, a MATLAB© platform designed to assess the performance of modern metaheuristics when solving the ERM problem.
