This paper presents a novel resource-aware framework for the implementation of distributed particle filters in resource-constrained wireless camera networks (WCNs). WCNs often suffer from communication failures caused by physical limitations of the communication channel as well as network congestion. Unreliable communication degrades the visual information shared by the cameras, such as visual ...

This paper evaluates the performance of coordinated control across advanced distribution management systems (ADMS), distributed energy resources (DERs), and resource (DERMS) using an hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform. platform provides a realistic laboratory testing environment, including accurate dynamic modeling real-world system from utility partner, real controllers (ADMS DERMS), physical...

The Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) project aims at providing an efficient electric power grid integrating alternative generating sources and storage with existing power systems to facilitate a green energy in a highly distributed and scalable manner. One of the central aspects of the Reliable and Secure Communication (RSC) subthrust within the FREEDM system is...

Community solar projects involve the installation of large PV systems whose net outputs are then virtually allocated to customers at other locations. They represent a relatively new model distributed energy resource (DER) implementation that could help overcome some historical barriers low-income, disadvantaged community, renter household participation in ongoing renewable transition. Siting co...

The lifetime of the emerging Wireless visual sensor network (WVSN) is seriously dependent on the energy shored in the battery of its sensor nodes as well as the compression and resource allocation scheme. In this paper, the energy harvesting technology was adopted to provide almost perpetual operation of the WVSN and compressed-sensing-based encoding was used to decrease the power consumption o...

the share of dc-based renewable energy resources (rers) and electricity storage systems are increasing due to developments of smart grid technologies. moreover, the share of dc-based load has rapid growth due to significant developments of power electronic technologies. therefore, a more flexible power system is required for efficient integration of emerging loads and generators. in this paper,...

Power load management is the concept of controlling the loads at the demand side in order to run energy systems more efficiently. Energy systems are inherently highly distributed and contain large number of loads, up to some million. This implies that computationally and conceptually attractive methods are required for this application. In this paper we give two novel theorems for how to decomp...
