MANAGEMENT CONTROL AND MODERN DECENTRALIZED TECHNOLOGIES

Decentralized Control Strategy for Optimal Energy Management in Grid-Connected and Islanded DC Microgrids

This paper proposes a decentralized control technique to minimize the total operation cost of a DC microgrid in both grid-connected and islanded modes. In this study, a cost-based droop control scheme based on the hourly bids of all participant distributed generators (DGs) and the hourly energy price of the utility is presented. An economic power sharing technique among various types of DG unit...

Giardiasis: Modern Concepts in Control and Management

Giardia is the most common enteric protozoan pathogen of humans, domestic animals and wildlife. Children are at the most risk from the clinical consequences of Giardia infection, particularly those in developing countries and living in disadvantaged community settings. Molecular epidemiological studies have helped to elucidate sources of infection and the public health significance of animal re...

Compass: Decentralized Management and Access Control for Wlans

In this paper, we propose COMPASS, a new decentralized access control architecture for modern WLANs. As traditional centralized access control systems like AAA do not scale well, we propose the use of P2P technologies for the distribution of management data directly between the deployed WLAN access points. Our system COMPASS does not require any additional equipment or central entities. Using a...
