Hybrid Control Strategy (MPC + RTC)

Combines Model Predictive Control for proactive energy planning with Real-Time Control for immediate, reactive adjustments, ensuring both optimal energy usage and strict adherence to power limits.

Flexible Device Integration

Provides a standardized `DeviceMPC` interface for seamless integration of various controllable devices (e.g., HVAC, water heaters, electric vehicles, batteries), enabling modular and scalable energy management.

User-Centric Optimization

Balances energy cost minimization with user comfort by incorporating dynamic pricing, prioritizing less critical devices during curtailment, and utilizing thermal models for accurate predictions.
