The amount of CO emitted per kilowatt-hour on an electricity grid varies by time of day and
substantially varies by location due to the types of generation. Networked collections of …

Abstract Purpose of Review Electrification efforts will change electric demand patterns, but
must be made beneficial to the deployment of renewable generation. To ensure this, we …

The electricity industry is rapidly changing: costs are increasingly dominated by capital and
technology is turning loads into resources. This is similar to the early days of the Internet …

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 …

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 …

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

A new stochastic control methodology is introduced for distributed control, motivated by the
goal of creating virtual energy storage from flexible electric loads, ie Demand Dispatch. In …

It is now well established that many electric loads are inherently flexible, and this flexibility
can be harnessed to provide grid services identical to those obtained today through …

As California's Renewables Portfolio Standard continues to phase power production from
fossil fuels, carbon neutral sources will need to be implemented. This sets small-scale wind …

The goal of this paper is to develop a low-order model to represent the coordination of
distributed energy resources based on concepts that make the internet work and is known …
