Optimally Scheduling Public Safety Power Shutoffs
Antoine Lesage-Landry, Félix Pellerin, Joshua A. Taylor +1
In an effort to reduce power system-caused wildfires, utilities carry out public safety power shutoffs (PSPS) in which portions of the grid are de-energized to mitigate the risk of…
Pricing and Energy Trading in Peer-to-peer Zero Marginal-cost Microgrids
Jonathan Lee, Rodrigo Henriquez-Auba, Bala Kameshwar Poolla +1
Efforts to utilize 100% renewable energy in community microgrids require new approaches to energy markets and transactions to efficiently address periods of scarce energy supply. I…
Online Convex Optimization with Binary Constraints
Antoine Lesage-Landry, Joshua A. Taylor, Duncan S. Callaway
We consider online optimization with binary decision variables and convex loss functions. We design a new algorithm, binary online gradient descent (bOGD) and bound its expected dy…
Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Look-Ahead Economic Dispatch
Bala Kameshwar Poolla, Ashish R. Hota, Saverio Bolognani +2
We consider the problem of look-ahead economic dispatch (LAED) with uncertain renewable energy generation. The goal of this problem is to minimize the cost of conventional energy g…
Dynamic and Distributed Online Convex Optimization for Demand Response of Commercial Buildings
Antoine Lesage-Landry, Duncan S. Callaway
We extend the regret analysis of the online distributed weighted dual averaging (DWDA) algorithm [1] to the dynamic setting and provide the tightest dynamic regret bound known to d…
Trajectory tracking with an aggregation of domestic hot water heaters: Combining model-based and model-free control in a commercial deployment
Mingxi Liu, Stef Peeters, Duncan S. Callaway +1
Scalable demand response of residential electric loads has been a timely research topic in recent years. The commercial coming of age or residential demand response requires a scal…
Decentralized Charging Control of Electric Vehicles in Residential Distribution Networks
Mingxi Liu, Phillippe K. Phanivong, Yang Shi +1
Electric vehicle (EV) charging can negatively impact electric distribution networks by exceeding equipment thermal ratings and causing voltages to drop below standard ranges. In th…
A Linearized Power Flow Model for Optimization in Unbalanced Distribution Systems
Michael D. Sankur, Roel Dobbe, Emma Stewart +2
Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is an important tool used to coordinate assets in electric power systems to ensure customer voltages are within pre-defined tolerances and to improve distr…
Experimental Demonstration of Frequency Regulation by Commercial Buildings - Part I: Modeling and Hierarchical Control Design
Evangelos Vrettos, Emre C. Kara, Jason MacDonald +2
This paper is the first part of a two-part series in which we present results from an experimental demonstration of frequency regulation in a commercial building test facility. In…
Experimental Demonstration of Frequency Regulation by Commercial Buildings - Part II: Results and Performance Evaluation
Evangelos Vrettos, Emre C. Kara, Jason MacDonald +2
This paper is the second part of a two-part series presenting the results from an experimental demonstration of frequency regulation in a commercial building test facility. In Part…
Risk-Limiting Dynamic Contracts for Direct Load Control
Insoon Yang, Duncan S. Callaway, Claire J. Tomlin
This paper proposes a novel continuous-time dynamic contract framework that has a risk-limiting capability. If a principal and an agent enter into such a contract, the principal ca…
Dynamic Contracts with Partial Observations: Application to Indirect Load Control
Insoon Yang, Duncan S. Callaway, Claire J. Tomlin
This paper proposes a method to design an optimal dynamic contract between a principal and an agent, who has the authority to control both the principal's revenue and an engineered…
