Dual-decomposition-based peer-to-peer voltage control for distribution networks

Dual-decomposition-based Peer-to-peer Voltage Control for Distribution Networks

The increasing penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) creates new voltage issues in distribution networks. This paper proposes an algorithm that mitigates these issues, by actively managing the active and reactive power of those DERs. The control problem is formulated as an optimization problem. The paper proposes solving the problem in a fully distributed manner and presents a meth...

Trust Based Content Distribution for Peer-To- Peer Overlay Networks

In peer-to-peer content distribution the lack of a central authority makes authentication difficult. Without authentication, adversary nodes can spoof identity and falsify messages in the overlay. This enables malicious nodes to launch man-in-the-middle or denial-of-service attacks. In this paper, we present a trust based content distribution for peer-to-peer overlay networks, which is built on...

Gossip-based distribution estimation in peer-to-peer networks

We propose a novel gossip-based technique that allows each node in a system to estimate the distribution of values held by other nodes. We observe that the presence of duplicate values does not significantly affect the distribution of values in samples collected through gossip, and based on that explore different data synopsis techniques that optimize space and time while allowing nodes to accu...

A Trust Model for Peer-to-Peer Content Distribution Networks

Performance Analysis of Peer-to-Peer Networks for File Distribution

Peer-to-peer networks have been commonly used for tasks such as file sharing or file distribution. We study a class of cooperative file distribution systems where a file is broken up into many chunks that can be downloaded independently. The different peers cooperate by mutually exchanging the different chunks of the file, each peer being client and server at the same time. While such systems a...
