This paper presents a hierarchical optimization model based on multi-microgrids to improve the power system resilience in response to increasingly frequent extreme events. When supply of power from the main grid is interrupted, in the first stage, microgrids minimize the load curtailment through efficiently scheduling their available resources. In the second stage, microgrids share power in order to utilize the surplus capacities to support the unserved loads. A consensus algorithm is applied for microgrids information exchange and a novel ratio is designed to determine the allocated value of exported power in a distributed way. The optimization model is formulated as a mix-integer linear programming (MILP) problem. Test results validate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

The growing global population and the consequential increasing food demand have had a great impact on the environment and thus on the climate. Efforts are being made to reduce carbon footprint to mitigate such effects. Calculating the carbon footprint of food products is complex and requires the cooperation of all the stakeholders of the food supply chain. A record keeping system for tracking carbon footprint while preserving privacy for the related parties is needed. This paper presents a new implementation of blockchain for tracking of carbon footprint on food production and transportation stages. We designed a system that tracks the carbon footprint of food processing facilities and transportation parties using cluster-based record keeping while preserving their privacy. We implemented the proposed carbon footprint chain and evaluated its throughput and latency under different scenarios. We show that our blockchain implementation is capable of operating with a larger number of nodes without any scalability issues.

To seamlessly reconnect an islanded microgrid to the main grid, voltage phasors on both sides of the point of common coupling need to be synchronized before the main relay closes. In this paper, a distributed control strategy is proposed for microgrid synchronization operation. The proposed controller design utilizes pinning-based consensus algorithm to avoid system single point of failure. It is able to actively track the main grid frequency, provide a good coordination between frequency and phase regulation and ensure all distributed generations in the system proportionally share the load. Implementation of such distributed algorithm in practice is difficult because it requires mitigation of both distributed computing and power system engineering challenges. In this paper, a novel software platform called RIAPS platform is presented that helps implementing the proposed distributed synchronization strategy in practical hardware controllers. The performance of the controllers are validated using a real-time controller hardware-in-the-loop microgrid testbed.

This paper studies the problem of formation maintenance and reconstruction of UAV swarm with obstacle avoidance. Firstly, a collision prediction mechanism is introduced to determine whether each UAV needs to avoid obstacles or not. Secondly, by designing the position and speed consistency control law between UAVs, each UAV and the virtual leader, combined with the obstacle avoidance mechanism based on the artificial potential field method, the swarm formation control and maintenance algorithm with obstacle avoidance is realized. Finally, the formation transformation is realized by changing the relative positional relationship between each UAV and the virtual leader. The simulation results show that the UAV swarm can generate, maintain and reconstruct the expected formation in a real-time distributed manner while avoiding obstacles.

Distributed generations are expected to develop rapidly in the electric power system. As an essential infrastructure, the structure of electricity market moves to distributed or decentralized network. Without a central coordinator, transaction security and optimal dispatch will be a challenge. In this paper, blockchain and edge computing are used to be a potential solution of decentralized electricity market. A decentralized electricity pricing algorithm is installed in the onsite edge computing terminal, and then the transactions are implemented in blockchain. Case studies are presented to demonstrate the availability of pricing mechanism.

This study is concerned with the consensus problems of multi-agent systems with cooperative and antagonistic noisy interactions described by two-layered network. That is, each agent is simultaneously influenced by the force of attraction and repulsion between each neighboring agents in cooperative and antagonistic layers. A distributed algorithm for achieving the consensus in a probabilistic sense is proposed and its sufficient conditions are clarified. The conditions tell us rigorous stopping rules which enable us to know the number of iterations that achieves consensus within a prespecified accuracy and probability. Some applications of consensus problems with cooperative and antagonistic interactions are shown through numerical examples.

In this paper we consider the problem of a multiagent system achieving a formation in the presence of misbehaving or adversarial agents. We introduce a novel continuous time resilient controller to guarantee that normally behaving agents can converge to a formation with respect to a set of leaders. The controller employs a norm-based filtering mechanism, and unlike most prior algorithms, also incorporates input bounds. In addition, the controller is shown to guarantee convergence in finite time. A sufficient condition for the controller to guarantee convergence is shown to be a graph theoretical structure which we denote as Resilient Directed Acyclic Graph (RDAG). Further, we employ our filtering mechanism on a discrete time system which is shown to have exponential convergence. Our results are demonstrated through simulations.

Gossip protocols play an important role in disseminating information and solving global tasks over networks in a distributed fashion. In this paper, we propose gossip algorithms that preserve the sum of network states (and therefore the average), while fully protecting node privacy even against eaves-droppers possessing the entire information flow and network knowledge. At each time step, a node is selected to interact with one of its neighbors via deterministic or random gossiping. The selected node generates a random number to replace its current state, and sends to the neighbor the difference between the current state and the random number. On receiving the data from the selected node, the neighbor sets its new state as the sum of its current state and the difference. The algorithms can be used as a simple encryption step in distributed optimization and computation algorithms. In this Part I, we study the output statistics of the proposed algorithms with deterministic edge sequence selection, in addition to the convergence limits and encryption time of their randomized version.
