CITADELS: A Decentralized Approach to Grid-edge Coordination

With rapid decarbonization goals and ambitious urban electrification targets, the electric power distribution systems are undergoing unprecedented changes. The proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs) and flexible loads, such as microgrids, roof-top and utility-scale photovoltaics, battery energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and grid-interfacing efficient buildings, is pushing the control and operational requirements of the grid to the edge.
