A major issue in future smart grid is how intelligent devices and independent producers can respectively change their power consumption/production to achieve near maximum efficiency for the power network. Limited communications between devices and producers necessitates a transformative approach where the elements of the network can act in an autonomous manner with limited information or communications, yet achieve near optimal performance. This is the main topic of the proposed project.By combining the two-way power flow with the two-way information flow, demand response can be applied to reduce the peak demand, shift load for economic benefits, reduce operating reserves and improve the grid stability. An important obstacle has been the lack of supporting information, communication and computation infrastructures that can ensure quality of service (QoS) for various demand response applications and devices. This project goal is to develop transformative and applicable distributed algorithms and architectures with provable performance for demand control subject to communication constraints in power networks. Results from this project will be applied to achieve high-performance and high-confidence management of the smart buildings and cities, and further contributes to the goal of improving urban sustainability.

未来智能电网的一个主要问题是，智能设备和独立生产商如何分别改变其功耗/生产，以实现电力网络的最高效率。 设备和生产商之间的沟通有限需要一种变革性的方法，在该方法中，网络的要素可以以有限的信息或通信方式以自动方式行动，但实现了几乎最佳的性能。这是拟议项目的主要主题。通过将双向功率流与双向信息流相结合，可以应用需求响应来减少高峰需求，转移经济利益，减少操作储备并改善电网稳定性。一个重要的障碍是缺乏支持信息，通信和计算基础架构，这些信息可以确保为各种需求响应应用程序和设备确保服务质量（QoS）。该项目目标是开发具有可证明性能的需求控制性能的变革性和适用的分布式算法和架构，但受电力网络中的通信约束。该项目的结果将用于实现智能建筑物和城市的高性能和高信任管理，并进一步有助于改善城市可持续性的目标。
