In modern buildings renewable energy generators and storage devices are spreading, and consequently the role of the users in the power grid is shifting from passive to active. We design a demand response scheme that exploits the prosumers'…
We present a method for solving service allocation problems in which a set of services must be allocated to a set of agents so as to maximize a global utility. The method is completely distributed so it can scale to any number of services…
In this article, we consider a cooperative control problem involving a heterogeneous network of dynamically decoupled continuous-time linear plants. The (output-feedback) controllers for each plant may communicate with each other according…

In this paper, we present an Uzawa-based heuristic that is adapted to some type of stochastic optimal control problems. More precisely, we consider dynamical systems that can be divided into small-scale independent subsystems, though linked…
This paper focuses on the operation of an electricity market that accounts for participants that bid at a sub-minute timescale. To that end, we model the market-clearing process as a dynamical system, called market dynamics, which is…
Due to densification of wireless networks, there exist abundance of idling computation resources at edge devices. These resources can be scavenged by offloading heavy computation tasks from small IoT devices in proximity, thereby overcoming…
Microgrid (MG) with different technologies in distributed generations (DG) and different control facilities require proper management and scheduling strategies. In these strategies, in order to reach the optimal management, the stochastic…
The problem of controlling multi-agent systems under different models of information sharing among agents has received significant attention in the recent literature. In this paper, we consider a setup where rather than committing to a…
In this paper, we consider a general distributed system with multiple agents who select and then implement actions in the system. The system has an operator with a centralized objective. The agents, on the other hand, are selfinterested and…

Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing, multi-robot coordination and information gathering scenarios…
This study develops a scalable co-optimization strategy for the joint bidding of cascaded hydropower, wind, and solar energy units, treated as a unified entity in the day-ahead market. Although hydropower flexibility can manage the…
We use a power grid model with $M$ generators and $N$ consumption units to optimize the grid and its control. Each consumer demand is drawn from a predefined finite-size-support distribution, thus simulating the instantaneous load…
This paper studies how platform design shapes strategic behavior in decentralized electricity trading. We develop a finite-horizon dynamic game in which photovoltaic- and battery-equipped players ("prosumers") trade on a platform that maps…
In the smart grid, the prosumers can sell unused electricity back to the power grid, assuming the prosumers own renewable energy sources and storage units. The maximizing of their profits under a dynamic electricity market is a problem that…
