A Battery Cloud or cloud battery management system leverages the cloud computational power and data storage to improve battery safety, performance, and economy. This work will present the Battery Cloud that collects measured battery data…
An electricity bill of a data center (DC) is determined not only by how much energy the DC consumes, but especially by how the consumed energy is spread over time during the billing cycle. More specifically, these electricity costs are…
Data center providers seek to minimize their total cost of ownership (TCO), while power consumption has become a social concern. We present formulations to minimize server energy consumption and server cost under three different data center…
The increasing electric vehicle (EV) adoption challenges the energy management of charging stations (CSs) due to the large number of EVs and the underlying uncertainties. Moreover, the carbon footprint of CSs is growing significantly due to…
This paper proposes online algorithms for dynamic matching markets in power distribution systems, which at any real-time operation instance decides about matching -- or delaying the supply of -- flexible loads with available renewable…
Electric vehicle (EV) adoption in cold regions is hindered by degraded EV charging performance at low temperatures, which necessitates effective battery thermal management during charging. Given the coupling of battery charging and heating…
With the rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs), EV aggregators have been playing a increasingly vital role in power systems by not merely providing charging management but also participating in wholesale electricity markets. This work…
