With the advancement in smart grid and energy devices, demand response becomes one of most economic feasible solutions to ease load stress power grids during peak hours. In this work, we propose a fully decentralized ensemble control framework with consensus for (DR) events compatible methods based on random policies. We show that under is tailored DR, our proposed method yields same optimality...

This study investigates the feasibility of deploying wireless communication and embedded computing technologies for structural control applications. A feedback control system involves a network of sensors and control devices. As control devices are becoming smaller, more cost effective and reliable, opportunities are now available to instrument a structure with large number of control devices. ...

The conventional decentralized supervisory control architectures for discrete event systems assume that default control of controllable events is static. In this paper, we propose a new decentralized supervisory control architecture using dynamic default control of controllable events. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a decentralized supervisor in the proposed...
