Optimal decentralized protocol for electric vehicle charging
TL;DR: In this paper, a decentralized algorithm is proposed to optimally schedule electric vehicle (EV) charging, which exploits the elasticity of electric vehicle loads to fill the valleys in electric load profiles.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optimal decentralized protocol for electric vehicle charging
TL;DR: A decentralized algorithm to optimally schedule electric vehicle (EV) charging as an optimal control problem, whose objective is to impose a generalized notion of valley-filling, and study properties of optimal charging profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Stability of Load-Side Primary Frequency Control in Power Systems
TL;DR: It is proved that the swing dynamics and the branch power flows, coupled with frequency-based load control, serve as a distributed primal-dual algorithm to solve OLC and establish the global asymptotic stability of a multimachine network under such type of load-side primary frequency control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exact Convex Relaxation of Optimal Power Flow in Radial Networks
TL;DR: It is proved that a global optimum of OPF can be obtained by solving a second-order cone program, under a mild condition after shrinking the OPF feasible set slightly, for radial power networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Receding Horizon Temporal Logic Planning
TL;DR: A response mechanism to handle failures that may occur due to a mismatch between the actual system and its model and the corresponding receding horizon framework that effectively reduces the synthesis problem into a set of smaller problems.
