nanogrids need to run independent and not rely on power from the local utility. Having a device that_x000D_
homeowners can purchase that would allow them to manage the power generated from solar panels, the storing_x000D_
of the power in batteries, and the consumption from loads to minimize their reliance on the local utility,_x000D_
especially around peak usage, when the cost of power is more expensive. The proposed research project brings_x000D_
together researchers from SFU and Rainforest Automation with the goal of developing computational methods_x000D_
to optimize the power consumption of loads given limited resources provided from local solar power_x000D_
generation and battery storage. Outcomes from this project will be used to enhance Rainforest's existing set of_x000D_
products as well as create a new product line., program purpose french : Local power generational and storage play a key part in the functioning of a residential nanogrid. Residential_x000D_
