This NSF CPS project aims to redesign the information structure utilized by system operators in today's electricity markets to accommodate technological advances in energy generation and consumption. The project will bring transformative change to power systems by incentivizing and facilitating the integration of non-conventional energy resources via a principled design of bidding, aggregation, and market mechanisms. Such integration will provide operators with the necessary flexibility to operate a network with high levels of renewable penetration. This will be achieved by a comprehensive bottom-down approach that will first identify the intrinsic cost of utilizing novel renewable resources and accommodate the operational ecosystem accordingly. The intellectual merits of the project include novel theories and algorithms for operating a vast number of distributed resources and testbed implementations of markets and controls. The project's broader impacts include K-12 and undergraduate programs, including in-class and extra-curricular STEM activities through, e.g., Hopkins in-class and extra-curricular STEM activities, and the Caltech WAVE summer research program.Introducing distributed energy resources (DERs) at a large scale requires rethinking power grid operations to account for increased uncertainty and new operational constraints. The proposed research undertakes this task by overhauling the information structure that markets and grid controls utilize. We seek to characterize and shape how information is exchanged and used to manage the grid to improve efficiency, stability, and incentive alignment. The research is organized into three thrusts. Thrust 1 emphasizes the role of information in coordination. It seeks to characterize DER costs and constraints, designing bidding strategies tailored to convey information about the atypical characteristics of DER costs. Thrust 2 aims to develop aggregation strategies that efficiently manage resources by accounting for their cost and constraints, integrating DERs via an aggregate bid that protects sensitive user information and is robust to market manipulation. Finally, Thrust 3 characterizes the overall impact of DERs on operations. We will examine how user incentives that span across markets implicitly couple market outcomes and develop design mechanisms to mitigate inter-market price manipulation. We will also design pricing schemes that provide efficient DER allocation while preserving real-time operational constraints such as frequency regulation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该 NSF CPS 项目旨在重新设计系统运营商在当今电力市场中使用的信息结构，以适应能源生产和消费方面的技术进步。该项目将通过招标、聚合和市场机制的原则性设计，激励和促进非常规能源资源的整合，从而给电力系统带来革命性的变化。这种整合将为运营商提供必要的灵活性来运营可再生能源高渗透率的网络。这将通过一种全面的自下而下的方法来实现，该方法将首先确定利用新型可再生资源的内在成本，并相应地适应运营生态系统。该项目的智力优点包括用于操作大量分布式资源的新颖理论和算法以及市场和控制的测试台实施。该项目的更广泛影响包括 K-12 和本科生项目，包括通过霍普金斯大学课堂和课外 STEM 活动以及加州理工学院 WAVE 夏季研究项目进行的课堂和课外 STEM 活动。引入分布式能源（大规模的分布式能源（DER）需要重新思考电网运营，以应对增加的不确定性和新的运营限制。拟议的研究通过彻底改革市场和电网控制所利用的信息结构来承担这项任务。我们寻求描述和塑造信息交换和使用的方式来管理电网，以提高效率、稳定性和激励一致性。该研究分为三个重点。主旨 1 强调信息在协调中的作用。它旨在描述分布式能源成本和限制因素，设计专门的投标策略来传达有关分布式能源成本非典型特征的信息。 Thrust 2 旨在开发聚合策略，通过考虑资源的成本和约束来有效管理资源，通过聚合出价整合 DER，保护敏感用户信息并对市场操纵具有鲁棒性。最后，推力 3 描述了 DER 对运营的总体影响。我们将研究跨市场的用户激励如何隐式地耦合市场结果，并开发设计机制来减轻市场间的价格操纵。我们还将设计定价方案，提供高效的 DER 分配，同时保留频率调节等实时操作限制。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
