Distributed Online Voltage Control in Distribution Network: A Two-Stage Real-Time Implementation
The increasing integration of renewable-based distributed generation (DG) brings growing challenges to distribution network (DN) voltage control. To address this issue, a two-stage distributed online voltage control framework (TDO-VC) is proposed in this paper. In the proposed method, legacy voltage control devices are controlled in the upper stage on an hourly timescale,…

Distributionally Robust Bilevel Optimization Model for Distribution Network with Demand Response under Uncertain Renewables Using Wasserstein Metrics
We consider a distribution network integrating demand response (DR) participants in the presence of uncertain renewable suppliers and outdoor temperatures. A bilevel optimization model is proposed to capture the intricate dynamics between price-incentivized DR participants and distribution system operations, including energy procurement and active/reactive power flows. The…

Deploying advanced supervisory control strategies to small- and medium-sized commercial buildings: Case study and lessons learned
Deploying advanced supervisory control strategies (ASCSs) in small- and medium-sized commercial buildings (SMBs) is vital but faces two issues: (1) a lack of building control and communication infrastructure (BCCI) in SMBs and (2) the significant engineering efforts required to implement and configurate ASCSs. Despite hindering the large-scale adoption of ASCSs in SMBs, th…

Multitarget Control Models for Building Thermal Comfort and Indoor Air Quality – A Critical Review
The control techniques in buildings contribute significantly to thermal comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ). However, the gaps are existing for multitarget controls considering both thermal comfort and IAQ. They are: (1) both experimental and modeling control studies were conducted for thermal comfort, focusing on temperature and humidity. (2) All three (physical, grey-bo…

Performance evaluation of underground thermal storage integrated dual-source heat pump systems
The increasing demand for electricity stresses the existing electric grids. Buildings consume 73% of all U.S. electricity and are responsible for 30% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Integrating thermal energy storage (TES) in building heating/cooling systems, which consume considerable electricity, can mitigate the challenges to electric grids. This study reports on a no…
