Control and Energy Management System in Microgrids
Hajir Pourbabak, Tao Chen, Bowen Zhang +1
As a cutting-edge technology, microgrids feature intelligent EMSs and sophisticated control, which will dramatically change our energy infrastructure. The modern microgrids are a r…
Control and Communication Protocols that Enable Smart Building Microgrids
Bowen Zhang, John Baillieul
Recent communication, computation, and technology advances coupled with climate change concerns have transformed the near future prospects of electricity transmission, and, more no…
The Kirchhoff-Braess Paradox and Its Implications for Smart Microgrids
John Baillieul, Bowen Zhang, Shuai Wang
Well known in the theory of network flows, Braess paradox states that in a congested network, it may happen that adding a new path between destinations can increase the level of co…
Optimal Provision of Regulation Service Reserves Under Dynamic Energy Service Preferences
Bowen Zhang, Michael C. Caramanis, John Baillieul
We propose and solve a stochastic dynamic programming (DP) problem addressing the optimal provision of regulation service reserves (RSR) by controlling dynamic demand preferences i…
A Two Level Feedback System Design to Regulation Service Provision
Bowen Zhang, John Baillieul
Demand side management has gained increasing importance as the penetration of renewable energy grows. Based on a Markov jump process modelling of a group of thermostatic loads, thi…
A Packetized Direct Load Control Mechanism for Demand Side Management
Bowen Zhang, John Baillieul
Electricity peaks can be harmful to grid stability and result in additional generation costs to balance supply with demand. By developing a network of smart appliances together wit…
