Increased uncertainty due to high penetration of renewables imposes significant costs to the system operators. The added costs depend on several factors including market design, performance of renewable generation forecasting and the…

We consider the problem of look-ahead economic dispatch (LAED) with uncertain renewable energy generation. The goal of this problem is to minimize the cost of conventional energy generation subject to uncertain operational constraints. The…

By employing local renewable energy sources and power generation units while connected to the central grid, microgrid can usher in great benefits in terms of cost efficiency, power reliability, and environmental awareness. Economic…

Various distributed optimization methods have been developed for solving problems which have simple local constraint sets and whose objective function is the sum of local cost functions of distributed agents in a network. Motivated by…

Unit commitment and load dispatch problems are important and complex problems in power system operations that have being traditionally solved separately. In this paper, both problems are solved together without approximations or…

High wind energy penetration critically challenges the economic dispatch of current and future power systems. Supply and demand must be balanced at every bus of the grid, while respecting transmission line ratings and accounting for the…

This paper proposes a real-time distributed operational architecture to efficiently coordinate intergrated transmission and distribution systems (ITD). At the distribution system level, the distribution system operator (DSO) computes the…

This two-part paper discusses robustification methodologies for linear-iterative distributed algorithms for consensus and coordination problems in multicomponent systems, in which unreliable communication links may drop packets. We consider…

Resource management and scheduling plays a crucial role in achieving high utilization of resources in grid computing environments. Due to heterogeneity of resources, scheduling an application is significantly complicated and challenging…

Distributed control algorithms are known to reduce overall computation time compared to centralized control algorithms. However, they can result in inconsistent solutions leading to the violation of safety-critical constraints. Inconsistent…

Dispatchability of renewable energy sources and inflexible loads can be achieved using a volatility-compensating energy storage. However, as the future power outputs of the inflexible devices are uncertain, the computation of a dispatch…

Motivated by a variety of applications in control engineering and information sciences, we study network resource allocation problems where the goal is to optimally allocate a fixed amount of resource over a network of nodes. In these…

This thesis explores a particular class of distributed optimization methods for various separable resource allocation problems, which are of high interest in a wide array of multi-agent settings. A distinctly motivating application for this…

Parallel applications with irregular and time-varying workloads often suffer from load imbalance. Dynamic load balancing techniques address this challenge by redistributing work during execution. We present a new type of distributed…

In this paper we consider a network of processors aiming at cooperatively solving linear programming problems subject to uncertainty. Each node only knows a common cost function and its local uncertain constraint set. We propose a…

This paper proposes a novel class of distributed continuous-time coordination algorithms to solve network optimization problems whose cost function is a sum of local cost functions associated to the individual agents. We establish the…

This paper considers distributed resource allocation and sum-preserving constrained optimization over lossy networks, where the links are unreliable and subject to packet drops. We define the conditions to ensure convergence under packet…
