Smoothed Least-Laxity-First Algorithm for EV Charging
Niangjun Chen, Christian Kurniawan, Yorie Nakahira +2
Adaptive charging can charge electric vehicles (EVs) at scale cost effectively, despite the uncertainty in EV arrivals. We formulate adaptive EV charging as a feasibility problem t…
Smoothed Online Convex Optimization in High Dimensions via Online Balanced Descent
Niangjun Chen, Gautam Goel, Adam Wierman
We study Smoothed Online Convex Optimization, a version of online convex optimization where the learner incurs a penalty for changing her actions between rounds. Given a $Ω(\sqrt{d…
Thinking Fast and Slow: Optimization Decomposition Across Timescales
Gautam Goel, Niangjun Chen, Adam Wierman
Many real-world control systems, such as the smart grid and human sensorimotor control systems, have decentralized components that react quickly using local information and central…
Opportunities for Price Manipulation by Aggregators in Electricity Markets
Navid Azizan Ruhi, Krishnamurthy Dvijotham, Niangjun Chen +1
Aggregators are playing an increasingly crucial role in the integration of renewable generation in power systems. However, the intermittent nature of renewable generation makes mar…
Greening Multi-Tenant Data Center Demand Response
Niangjun Chen, Xiaoqi Ren, Shaolei Ren +1
