Comments on characterizing demand flexibility to provide power grid services
Prabir Barooah
Many loads have flexibility in demand that can be used to provide ancillary services to power grids. A large body of literature exists on designing algorithms to coordinate actions…
Differentially Private Smart Metering: Implementation, Analytics, and Billing
Matthew Hale, Prabir Barooah, Kendall Parker +1
Smart power grids offer to revolutionize power distribution by sharing granular power usage data, though this same data sharing can reveal a great deal about users, and there are s…
Distributed demand-side contingency-service provisioning while minimizing consumer disutility through local frequency measurements and inter-load communication
Jonathan Brooks, Prabir Barooah
We consider the problem of smart and flexible loads providing contingency reserves to the electric grid and provide a Distributed Gradient Projection (DGP) algorithm to minimize lo…
Ancillary Service to the Grid Using Intelligent Deferrable Loads
Sean Meyn, Prabir Barooah, Ana Bušić +2
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 w…
Improving Convergence Rate of Distributed Consensus Through Asymmetric Weights
He Hao, Prabir Barooah
We propose a weight design method to increase the convergence rate of distributed consensus. Prior work has focused on symmetric weight design due to computational tractability. We…
Mistuning-based Control Design to Improve Closed-Loop Stability of Vehicular Platoons
Prabir Barooah, Prashant G. Mehta, Joao P Hespanha
We consider a decentralized bidirectional control of a platoon of N identical vehicles moving in a straight line. The control objective is for each vehicle to maintain a constant v…
