Towards Optimality Preserving Aggregation for Scheduling Distributed Energy Resources

Allocation of Distributed Energy Resources for Microgrid Optimal Scheduling Considering Uncertainty

In this paper, a microgrid including a solar panel, a battery energy storage system and a diesel generator as the backup source are optimally is designed. The microgrid is considered as a part of a distribution network, that could be considered as local area. As microgrids can operate in grid-connected mode, the proposed algorithm investigates the minimization of the distribution network power ...

Aggregation and Disaggregation of Energetic Flexibility from Distributed Energy Resources

A variety of energy resources has been identified as being flexible in their electric energy consumption or generation. This energetic flexibility can be used for various purposes such as minimizing energy procurement costs or providing ancillary services to power grids. To fully leverage the flexibility available from distributed small-scale resources, their flexibility must be quantified and ...

Energy Optimization for Distributed Energy Resources Scheduling with Enhancements in Voltage Stability Margin

Towards Optimality in Parallel Job Scheduling

To keep pace with Moore’s law, chip designers have focused on increasing the number of cores per chip rather than single core performance. In turn, modern jobs are often designed to run on any number of cores. However, to effectively leverage these multi-core chips, one must address the question of how many cores to assign to each job. Given that jobs receive sublinear speedups from additional ...

Privacy-Preserving Distributed Movement Data Aggregation

We tackle the problem of obtaining general information about vehicle traffic in a city from movement data collected by individual vehicles. An important issue here is the possible violation of the privacy of the vehicle users. Movement data are sensitive because they may describe typical movement behaviors and therefore be used for re-identification of individuals in a database. We provide a pr...
