Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power have a high degree of unpredictability and time-variation, which makes balancing demand and supply challenging. One possible way to address this challenge is to harness the inherent…

The electric power system is currently experiencing radical changes stemming from the increasing share of renewable energy resources and the consequent decommissioning of conventional power plants based on synchronous generators. Since the…

Conventional control of fluid systems does not consider system-wide knowledge for optimising energy efficient operation. Distributed control of fluid systems combines reliable local control of components while using system-wide cooperation…

Air-conditioning loads (ACLs) are among the most promising demand side resources for their thermal storage capacity and fast response potential. This paper adopts the principle of market-based control (MBC) for the ACLs to participate in…

Research on adaptive traffic signal control (ATSC) extends back to at least the 1960s, and many ATSC methods have been proposed over the years. This paper provides a review of this research and proposes a taxonomy for organizing it,…

To extend the realm of application of the well known controller design technique of interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based control (IDA-PBC) of mechanical systems two modifications to the standard method are presented in…

One of the main challenges in Grid systems is designing an adaptive, scalable, and model-independent method for job scheduling to achieve a desirable degree of load balancing and system efficiency. Centralized job scheduling methods have…

We consider the problem of distributed admission control without knowledge of the capacity region in single-hop wireless networks, for flows that require a pre-specified bandwidth from the network. We present an optimization framework that…

Demand flexibility is increasingly important for power grids, in light of growing penetration of renewable generation. Careful coordination of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) can potentially modulate energy demand, decrease…

A two-layer control architecture is proposed, which promotes scalable implementations for model predictive controllers. The top layer acts as both a reference governor for the bottom layer and as a feedback controller for the regulated…

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…

Flexibility is a key enabler for the smart grid, required to facilitate Demand Side Management (DSM) programs, managing electrical consumption to reduce peaks, balance renewable generation and provide ancillary services to the grid.…

We consider the problem of scaling up optimal and safe controllers for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) from a single Control Zone (CZ) around a traffic conflict area to an entire network. The goal is to jointly minimize travel time…

In recent years, event and self-triggered control have been proposed as energy-aware control strategies to expand the life-time of battery powered devices in Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In contrast to the previous works in which their…

Topology Control (TC) aims at tuning the topology of highly dynamic networks to provide better control over network resources and to increase the efficiency of communication. Recently, many TC protocols have been proposed. The protocols are…

Cloud infrastructure provides computing services where computing resources can be adjusted on-demand. However, the adoption of cloud infrastructures brings concerns like reliance on the service provider network, reliability, compliance for…

We present theoretical results and experiments with parallel algorithms for computing an adaptive, online control with the objective of attenuating a power grid cascading failure.

Load management is being recognized as an important option for active user participation in the energy market. Traditional load management methods usually require a centralized powerful control center and a two-way communication network…

Distributed control strategies applied to power distribution control problems are meant to offer robust and scalable integration of distributed energy resources. However, the term "distributed control" is often loosely applied to a variety…

Monolithic applications used to be considered the standard for software development. However, due to the rapid evolution of technology and the increasing demand for scalability and flexibility, these applications have become increasingly…
