2 The Smart Grid Next generation power grid: full visibility and pervasive control on both supplier and consumers Smart meters Dynamic electricity prices according to demand Shift demand from peak time Renewable energy Reduce cost and greenhouse gas emission Energy harvesting: highly dynamic Battery: limited capacity With these new features and challenges, there is a need for comprehensive solutions for the smart grid

4 Energy Supply and Demand Attributes of energy supply Unlike communication network — Storable Renewable vs. Non-renewable Intermittent vs. Stable supply Energy Supply Energy Demand Energy Management Attributes of energy demand Time-varying Unpredictable vs predictable Elastic vs. Non-elastic Random demand meets with possibly uncertain supply

5 I. Delay-tolerant Task Scheduling Intuition: Postpone delay-tolerant tasks to the period with low electricity price E.g. dish washer, washer, electricity vehicle, air conditionerdish washer, washer, electricity vehicle, air conditioner Objective: Minimize cost of electricity tasks by leveraging the delay tolerance property and renewable energy Constraints Hard deadlines for job completion Average “dissatisfaction” constraint Control variables Delay in starting a job Amount of energy drawn/stored from/to the battery in each time slot Challenges Uncertainty in job arrivals, incoming renewable energy and price of electricity Appliances have diverse electricity usage patterns and scheduling flexibility

6 Energy Model Demand = Supply l(t) = g(t)+b(t) Demand = Supply l(t) = g(t)+b(t)

9 Problem Statement Models Electricity price assumed to be known in the near future Dissatisfaction function U Average dissatisfaction constraint Don’t delay too many jobs by too much Cost of electricity Cost reduction by drawing from battery Starting delay for job i arriving in timeslot t Energy drawn/stored from/to the battery Job must finish before deadline Hard deadline Job duration Energy constraint
10
10 Solution Methodology Virtual Queue Q(t) Deal with the average dissatisfaction constraint Lemma: If the virtual queue is stable, the average dissatisfaction constraint is satisfied Lyapunov optimization technique Define Lyapunov function Minimize the Lyapunov drift Q(t)
11
11 In each time slot, the delay in starting a job is computed as In each time slot, the battery charge/discharge is given by Algorithm Sketch Cost of electricity Measure of dissatisfaction for this job Measure of accumulated dissatisfaction
12
12 Battery level is always bounded: Only require finite battery capacity Average delay dissatisfaction is always less than Performance is within a constant gap of the optimum Main Results Constant gap Diminish as V becomes large A tradeoff between the battery size and the performance

14 Summary Cost reduction Leverage dynamic electricity prices and delay-tolerant property Renewable energy and battery Delay constraints Hard deadlines Average dissatisfaction constraint Scheme performance is within a constant gap of the optimum The constraint means that we can only draw energy from the grid What if this constraint does not exist? Sell energy back to the grid!

15 II. Energy Trading Intuition: Dynamic electricity price combining an energy storage battery implies a trading opportunity (similar to stock) Objective: Maximize the profit by opportunistically selling energy to the grid Control variables Amount of energy drawn/stored from/to the battery in each time slot Challenges Uncertainty of incoming renewable energy, price of electricity and energy demand Energy selling price is always less than the energy buying price
16
16 Example Key factors: Time-varying electricity price & Battery energy management
17
17 Problem Statement Models Energy selling price is smaller by a factor of Energy demand l(t) is exogenous process Profit of selling energy Cost of buying energy from the grid Energy drawn/stored from/to the battery Battery level Maximal output of the battery
18
18 Denote In each time slot, the energy allocation is given as follows Case 1: If Case 2: If Case 3: If Algorithm Sketch Sell: Price is high or battery level is high Buy: Price is low and battery level is low Equal: Price and battery level are mild
19
19 Battery level is always bounded: Only require finite battery capacity Asymptotically close to the optimum as T tends to infinity Main Results Diminish as V becomes large A tradeoff between the battery size and the performance

22 Low-Latency Algorithm in Cloud Storage Objective: Developed a queueing delay optimal algorithm for downloading data in cloud storages by leveraging multiple parallel threads and FEC codes System model (n,k) codes Request arrivals Queue Queueing Delay … Threads Dispatcher Read Time
23
23 When k = 1, given that the downloading time of each individual thread is i.i.d. following exponential distribution and the arrival process is Poisson, any work-conserving scheme is throughput optimal and also delay optimal. When k > 1, given that the downloading time of each individual thread is i.i.d. following exponential distribution and the arrival process is Poisson process, the greedy scheme is delay optimal.
