This paper provides a taxonomy and method to evaluate distributed control strategies used in distributed energy resource (DER) applications in power distribution grid. The paper explains the design process and provides performance metrics concerning implementation and further discusses different possibilities in distributed control for providing grid services. It focuses on identifying distribu...

With increasing distributed energy resources (DERs) integration, the strategic behavior of a DER aggregator in electricity markets will significantly affect secure operation distribution system. In this paper, interactions among aggregator, and reserve markets, system are investigated through single-leader-multi-follower Stackelberg game model with as leader independent operator followers. To g...

This work is the earliest attempt to propose an integrated resource planning for distributed hybrid microgrids considering virtual-inertia support (VIS) and demand-response (DRS) systems. Initially, three-distributed sustainable energy-based unequal are envisioned with availability of solar/wind/bioenergy resources. In order overcome effects intermittency in renewable resources low inertia, eac...

T he primary design objective of computing and communication systems has been performance: the speed of signal processing, the rate of communications, and the optimization of quality of service. For wireless systems and networks deployed on a large scale and untethered to power sources, practical considerations dictate a dif ferent design regime, one that should be dominated by energy and bandw...

Demand response and distributed generation are key components of power systems. Several challenges are raised at both technical and business model levels for integration of those resources in smart grids and microgrids. The implementation of a distribution network as a test bed can be difficult and not cost-effective; using computational modeling is not sufficient for producing realistic result...

To control congestion, either the traffic from sources should be “reduced” (traffic controlling) or the available resources should be “increased” (resource controlling). Compared to the wired and other wireless counterparts, wireless sensor networks usually have elastic resource availability, and the applications require a certain level of throughput called fidelity. As a result, resource contr...
