Consensus-based Energy Management of Microgrid with Random Packet Drops

• In this paper, we theoretically analyze the failure of conventional consensus-based energy management algorithms with random packet drops. We propose a novel consensus-based algorithm with running-sums, and theoretically prove the optimality of the solution and the convergence of the algorithm.

Decentralized Energy Management of Microgrid Based on Blockchain-Empowered Consensus Algorithm with Collusion Prevention

• In this paper, we propose a blockchain-empowered microgrid energy management framework and a consensus-based energy management algorithm over random communication topology, to enable trusted coordination among agents and prevent collusion between malicious agents.

Distributed, Consensus-based Coordination of Demand Response

• In my master thesis, we study the local flexibility transaction in the distribution network level, using both centralized method and distributed consensus-based method.

Consensus-based Distributed Control for Energy Storage Devices in Isolated Microgrid

• In my bachelor thesis, we study the consensus-based distributed control of energy storage devices in the microgrid. We also validate the algorithm’s ability to operate under communication delay and small scale failure.
• Awardee of Outstanding Undergraduate Thesis.

Online Monitor Device for Insulation of Distribution Cable
