Water distribution systems (WDSs) are typically designed with a conservative estimate of the ability of a control system to utilize the available infrastructure. The controller is designed and tuned after a WDS has been laid out, a…

We consider the residential energy storage management system with integrated renewable generation, with the availability of bidirectional energy flow from and to the grid thorough buying and selling. We propose a real-time bidirectional…

As a typical Cyber-Physical System (CPS), smart water distribution networks require monitoring of underground water pipes with high sample rates for precise data analysis and water network control. Due to poor underground wireless channel…

A new stochastic control problem of a dam-reservoir system installed in a river is analyzed both mathematically and numerically. Water balance dynamics of the reservoir are piece-wise deterministic and are driven by a stochastic…

There has been widespread interest in the use of grid-level storage to handle the variability from increasing penetrations of wind and solar energy. This problem setting requires optimizing energy storage and release decisions for anywhere…

Inventory management problems with periodic and controllable resets occur in the context of managing water storage in the developing world and retailing limited-time availability products. In this paper, we consider a set of sequential…

Large scale electricity storage is set to play an increasingly important role in the management of future energy networks. A major aspect of the economics of such projects is captured in arbitrage, i.e. buying electricity when it is cheap…

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can mitigate effects of intermittent energy production from renewable energy sources and play a critical role in peak shaving and demand charge management. To optimally size the BESS from an economic…

We present a novel technique to solve the problem of managing optimally a pumped hydroelectric storage system. This technique relies on representing the system as a stochastic optimal control problem with state constraints, these latter…

Most modern control systems are switched, meaning they have continuous as well as discrete decision variables. Switched systems often have constraints called dwell-time constraints (e.g., cycling constraints in a heat pump) on the switching…

As the penetration of variable renewable powergeneration increases in power systems around the world, systemsecurity is challenged. Ensuring that enough reserve capacity isavailable to balance the increased forecast errors introduced bywind…

In this paper, we consider a residential heating system with renewable and non-renewable heat generation and different consumption units and investigate a stochastic optimal control problem for its cost-optimal management. As a special…

Energy storage is a key enabler towards a low-emission electricity system, but requires appropriate dispatch models to be economically coordinated with other generation resources in bulk power systems. This paper analyzes how different…

Microgrids are recognized as a relevant tool to absorb decentralized renewable energies in the energy mix. However, the sequential handling of multiple stochastic productions and demands, and of storage, make their management a delicate…

This paper investigates a stochastic inventory management problem in which a cash-constrained small retailer periodically purchases a product from suppliers and sells it to a market while facing non-stationary demands. In each period, the…

We present an open-source solution for the operational control of drinking water distribution networks which accounts for the inherent uncertainty in water demand and electricity prices in the day-ahead market of a volatile deregulated…

Drinking water supply and distribution systems are critical infrastructure that has to be well maintained for the safety of the public. One important tool in the maintenance of water distribution systems (WDS) is flushing. Flushing is a…

We study the optimal control of storage which is used for both arbitrage and buffering against unexpected events, with particular applications to the control of energy systems in a stochastic and typically time-heterogeneous environment.…

In this paper, we consider a domestic standalone microgrid equipped with local renewable energy generation such as photovoltaic panels, consumption units, and battery storage to balance supply and demand and investigate the stochastic…

We examine the problem of allocating a given total storage budget in a distributed storage system for maximum reliability. A source has a single data object that is to be coded and stored over a set of storage nodes; it is allowed to store…
