The large scale deployment of Advanced Metering Infrastructure among residential energy customers has served as a boon for energy systems research relying on granular consumption data. Residential Demand Response aims to utilize the…
Demand-Response (DR) programs, whereby users of an electricity network are encouraged by economic incentives to rearrange their consumption in order to reduce production costs, are envisioned to be a key feature of the smart grid paradigm.…
A large fraction of the total electric load is comprised of end-use devices whose demand for energy is inherently deferrable in time. Of interest is the potential to leverage on such latent flexibility in demand to absorb variability in…
In this work we study the problem of scheduling tasks with dependencies in multiprocessor architectures where processors have different speeds. We present the preemptive algorithm "Save-Energy" that given a schedule of tasks it post…
The rapid expansion of cloud services and their unpredictable workload demands present significant challenges in resource management. Traditional resource management approaches, primarily based on static rules and thresholds, often fail to…
With the ever-growing need of data in HPC applications, the congestion at the I/O level becomes critical in super-computers. Architectural enhancement such as burst-buffers and pre-fetching are added to machines, but are not sufficient to…
Managing supply and demand in the electricity grid is becoming more challenging due to the increasing penetration of variable renewable energy sources. As significant end-use consumers, and through better grid integration, buildings are…
This study focusses on self-balancing microgrids to smartly utilize and prevent overdrawing of available power capacity of the grid. A distributed framework for automated distribution of optimal power demand is proposed, where all building…
Planned Communities (PCs) present a unique opportunity for deployment of intelligent control of demand-side distributed energy resources (DER) and storage, which may be organized in Microgrids (MGs). MGs require balancing for maintaining…
In this paper, we propose to model the energy consumption of smart grid households with energy storage systems as an intertemporal trading economy. Intertemporal trade refers to transaction of goods across time when an agent, at any time,…
We investigate the problem of serving deferrable and nondeferrable electric demands with colocated stochastic supply and grid-imported electricity. Deferrable demands arrive randomly and can be delayed within their service deadlines.…
The paper concerns design of control systems for Demand Dispatch to obtain ancillary services to the power grid by harnessing inherent flexibility in many loads. The role of "local intelligence" at the load has been advocated in prior work,…
Smart environment applications demand novel solutions for managing quality of services, especially availability and reliability at run-time. The underlying systems are changing dynamically due to addition and removal of system components,…
