This paper considers distribution networks featuring inverter-interfaced distributed energy resources, and develops distributed feedback controllers that continuously drive the inverter output powers to solutions of AC optimal power flow…

The energy sector has become priority around the world with developing technology and increasing power and energy demand. That all sources for energy production are not renewable increases greenhouse gas emissions and causes global warming.…

We introduce a quadratically-constrained approximation (QCAC) of the AC optimal power flow (AC-OPF) problem. Unlike existing approximations like the DC-OPF, our model does not rely on typical assumptions such as high reactance-to-resistance…

In this paper we consider a distributed optimization scenario in which a set of processors aims at cooperatively solving a class of min-max optimization problems. This set-up is motivated by peak-demand minimization problems in smart grids.…

The problems of determining the optimal power allocation, within maximum power bounds, to (i) maximize the minimum Shannon capacity, and (ii) minimize the weighted latency are considered. In the first case, the global optima can be achieved…

Nonlinear model predictive control~(NMPC) generally requires the solution of a non-convex optimization problem at each sampling instant under strict timing constraints, based on a set of differential equations that can often be stiff and/or…

The problem of resource allocation of nonlinear networked control systems is investigated, where, unlike the well discussed case of triggering for stability, the objective is optimal triggering. An approximate dynamic programming approach…
