We report on a real-time demand response experiment with 100 controllable devices. The reveals several key challenges in the deployment of program, including time delays, uncertainties, characterization errors, multiple timescales, and nonlinearity, which have been largely ignored previous studies. To resolve these practical issues, we develop implement two-level multi-loop control structure in...

The main objective of this paper is to present a wavelet-based procedure to characterize principle features of a special class of motions called pulse-like ground motions. Initially, continues wavelet transform (CWT) which has been known as a powerful technique both in earthquake engineering and seismology field is applied easily in automated detecting of strong pulse of earthquakes. In this pr...
