In the context of a recently proposed framework for the real-time control of microgrids with explicit power setpoints, we define and formally specify an aggregation method that explicitly accounts for delays and message asynchronism. The method allows to abstract the details of resources using high-level concepts that are device and grid-independent. We demonstrate the application of the method to a Cigre benchmark with heterogenous and lowinertia resources.Microgridsaggregationreal-time controlexplicit controlheterogeneous energy resourcesepfl-smartgridstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
