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电力消耗/生产以实现电力网络接近最大效率。 设备和生产者之间的有限通信需要一种变革性方法，其中网络元素可以在有限的信息或通信下以自主方式运行，但仍能实现接近最佳的性能。这是本项目的主要议题。通过将双向潮流与双向信息流相结合，需求响应可以用于减少高峰需求、转移负荷以获得经济效益、减少运行储备和改善电网稳定。一个重要的障碍是缺乏能够确保各种需求响应应用和设备的服务质量（QoS）的支持性信息、通信和计算基础设施。该项目的目标是开发具有可证明性能的变革性且适用的分布式算法和架构，用于受电力网络通信限制的需求控制。该项目的成果将应用于实现智能建筑和城市的高性能和高可信度管理，并进一步为提高城市可持续性的目标做出贡献。
