Faced with today’s energetic challenges, the management of Smart Cities is becoming more and more challenging. Local management of individual buildings is proven to be complex and inefficient. A new vision that promotes more flexibility and collaboration between buildings has become a must. In this paper, a new concept, called ”Virtualized Software-Defined Buildings (VSDB)” is introduced. It is presented as a key enabler of future Smart Cities. In fact, through virtualization, it helps in setting up multiple systems independently from the underlying physical infrastructure, offering the needed flexibility at reduced costs. A showcase example is presented to illustrate the potential of this new concept compared to the traditional management solutions.

The rise of distributed energy generation technologies along with grid constraints, and conventional non-consumer centric business models, is leading many to explore alternative configurations of the energy system. Particularly popular are peer-to-peer energy trading models in which the role of the energy company is replaced with a trustless transaction layer based on a public blockchain. However, to ensure stable operation of microgrids, an energy company is required to constantly balance supply and demand. In this paper, we study the problem that arises from the conflicting goals of prosumers (to make money) and network operators (to keep the network stable) that have to co-exist in future energy systems. We show that prosumers can play large-scale synchronization games to benefit from the system. If they synchronize their actions to artificially increase energy demand on the market, the resulting power peaks will force the microgrid operator to use backup generation capacities and, as a consequence, contribute to the increased profit margins for prosumers. We study synchronization games from a game-theoretical point of view and argue that even non-cooperative selfish prosumers can learn to play synchronization games independently and enforce undesired outcomes for consumers and the grid. We build a simple model where prosumers independently run Q-learning algorithms to learn their most profitable strategies and show that synchronization games constitute a Nash equilibrium. We discuss implications of our findings and argue the necessity of appropriate mechanism design for stable microgrid operation.

The scheduling of appliance power consumption is one of the main tasks in demand response management in smart grids. In many scenarios, it requires us to optimally schedule a large number of appliances with limited computational resources, thus the computational efficiency becomes a major concern of algorithm design. To this end, a novel algorithm is proposed based on KKT conditions to solve the optimal power scheduling problem with temporally-spatially coupled constraints. We show the algorithm is much more efficient than conventional algorithms, e.g., dual decomposition, and less sensitive to the problem parameter setting, as verified by numerical examples.

Large-scale charging infrastructure will play an important role in supporting the adoption of electric vehicles. In this paper, we address the prohibitively high capital cost of installing large numbers of charging stations within a parking facility by oversubscribing key pieces of electrical infrastructure. We describe a unique physical testbed for large-scale, high- density EV charging research which we call the Adaptive Charging Network (ACN). We describe the architecture of the ACN including its hardware and software components. We also present a practical framework for online scheduling, which is based on model predictive control and convex optimization. Based on our experience with practical EV charging systems, we introduce constraints to the EV charging problem which have not been considered in the literature, such as those imposed by unbalanced three-phase infrastructure. We use simulations based on real data collected from the ACN to illustrate the trade-offs involved in selecting models for infrastructure constraints and accounting for non-ideal charging behavior.

Smart grid services require reliable and efficient communication, which can be provided by modern cellular networks. However, smart grid components are often installed in environments that are challenging for radio networks, like energy meters in basements. While grid operators need to know the availability of cellular networks before installing components, current methods for evaluating mobile network coverage in such environment usually require lengthy tests or expensive and complicated measurement equipment. In this paper, we introduce the Mobile Network Analyzer (MNA), which is an easy to use device for fast coverage analyses and network quality assessment. It can be used by grid operators to check the network coverage before deploying smart grid components. We show the applicability of the MNA in an exemplary case study on the cellular network coverage at electricity meter cabinets at 168 locations and in a six month long-term field campaign in a wind farm. We determined that the communication availability can be improved by up to 29 % by leveraging the networks of multiple cellular network operators with the help of global SIM cards or national roaming. Additionally, we examined specific smart meter gateway installations, focusing on deep indoor coverage.

We propose a new approach for the optimal dayahead (DA) market bidding strategy of an aggregator of a power distribution system (with wind and solar generation). The proposed approach incorporates the stochasticity of renewable generation through a distributionally-robust chance-constraint (DRCC), which guarantees that the real-time (RT) energy shortfall (resulting from the DA market commitment and unexpected realization of renewable generation) does not exceed a pre-determined threshold with high probability, even without accurate information about the probability distribution of the random renewable generation. The formulated cost-minimization problem with DRCC is transformed into a deterministic, convex optimization problem. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed approach enables the aggregator to efficiently trade-off profitability and risk, and that a properly chosen risk tolerance level (in the DRCC) can significantly reduce the average cost at DA market by 6–18.6% (compared with the robust solution), at the cost of negligible probability that the RT energy shortfall exceeds the pre-determined threshold.

The peak demand reduction during peak hour is a challenge to the retail energy providers. Demand response program plays a major role to fulfil this purpose. The small household appliances like electric water heater can participate in the demand response program by aggregating it in the smart building energy management system. This paper discusses demand response possibilities of a residential electric water heater, the overall consumption profile, temperature profile and the financial benefit in the consumer level. The direct load control demand response method in yearly timeframe is proposed and applied. Realtime electricity pricing with incentive-based demand response is considered and applied to the direct load control with financial benefit to the consumers. The study includes the difference between normal consumption and consumption after using DLC, normal temperature profile and temperature profiling after DLC. The results exhibit that there is significant energy consumption reduction in the consumer level without making any discomfort.

This paper proposes a distributed scheme for demand response and user adaptation in smart grid networks. Our system model considers scarce distributed power sources and loads. User preference is modelled as ‘willingness to pay’ parameter and logarithmic utility functions are used to model the behaviour of users. The energy management problem is cast as an optimization problem, where the objective is to maximize the utility services to the clients based on price-based demand response scheme. We have addressed the issue concerning the allocation of power among users from multiple sources/utilities within a distributed power network based on users’ demands and willingness to pay. We envision a central entity providing a coordinated response to the huge number of scattered consumers, collecting power from all generators and assigning the power flow to the interested users. We propose a two layer price-based demand response architecture. The lower level energy management scheme deals with the power allocation from aggregator to the consumers, and the upper level deals with the distribution of power from utilities to aggregators to ensure the demand-supply balance.

The collection of electric vehicles (EVs) can be regarded as a massive storage to the power grid so as to provide vehicle-to-grid (V2G) ancillary services, such as frequency regulation. In this paper, a novel hierarchical framework for joint optimal power flow routing and decentralized scheduling with V2G regulation services is proposed. First, the optimal power flow is formulated by incorporating with power flow routers (PFRs). The problem is solved through the semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation to pursue the optimal solution. Second, the scheduling problem with V2G regulation service is proposed as a convex optimization problem. The related decentralized algorithm is then devised in order to find the schedules of EVs. Our simulation results show that voltage regulation is effectively achieved and PFRs can help reduce the apparent power loss of the system significantly. In addition, the decentralized scheduling algorithm with V2G regulation service can smooth out the power fluctuations at the buses attached with EVs.
