In this paper, two distributed and communication-efficient algorithms based on the multi-agent system are proposed to solve a system of linear equations with the Laplacian sparse system matrix. One algorithm is based on the gradient descent method in optimization. In this algorithm, the agents only share partial information instead of all of their collective state vectors…

Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of flexible loads in providing frequency response services. However, uncertainty and variability in various weather-related and end-use behavioral factors often affect the demand-side control performance. This work addresses this problem with the design of a demand-side control to achieve frequency response under load uncertai…

The flexible, efficient, and reliable operation of grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEBs) is increasingly impacted by the growing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs). Besides, the optimization and control of DERs, buildings, and distribution networks are further complicated by their interconnections. In this letter, we exploit load-side flexibility and…

Few studies have investigated the impacts of large-scale deployment of geothermal heat pumps (GHPs, also called ground source heat pumps) on the electric grid. GHPs utilize the ground as a heat source to warm buildings more efficiently than other space-heating systems. The coupling with the ground offers seasonal thermal storage so that GHPs can also cool buildings in summ…

In this paper, two approaches are proposed for transactive energy systems with competitive market in order to detect anomalies that occur in the process of information exchange during market interactions. The first approach fully exploits the property of monotonicity associated with the supply or demand curves of rational market participants. It only relies on the data tha…
