The climate change crisis, exacerbated by the global dependency of fossil fuels, has brought
significant challenges. In the medium to long term, extensive renewable-energy-based …

Using distributed energy resources (DERs), such as thermostatically controlled loads
(TCLs), electric vehicles (EVs), and energy storage systems (ESSs) as a way to manage …

When providing bulk power system services, a third-party aggregator could inadvertently
cause operational issues at the distribution level. We propose a coordination architecture in …

To enable greater penetration of renewable energy, there is a need to move away from the
traditional form of ensuring electric grid reliability through fast-ramping generators and …

This manuscript presents design and analysis of a set of reference-tracking control policies
for large-scale coordination of distributed energy resources (DERs) and quantifies tracking …

Over the past decade, there has been significant progress on the science of load control for
the creation of virtual energy storage. This is an alternative to demand response, and it is …

Increased utilization of residential and small commercial distributed energy resources
(DERs) has led DER aggregators to develop concepts such as the virtual power plants …

This paper investigates the possibility of building the energy Internet via a packetized
management of non-industrial loads. The proposed solution is based on the cyber-physical …

This paper reviews the key information and communication technologies that are necessary
to build an effective industrial energy management system considering the intermittence of …

High penetrations of intermittent renewable energy resources in the power system require
large balancing reserves for reliable operations. Aggregated and coordinated behind-the …
