Part of the book series: Power Electronics and Power Systems ((PEPS,volume 3))

Abstract

Based on “Coordinating regulation and demand response in electric power grids using multirate model predictive control,” by H. Hindi, D. Greene, C. Laventall, which appeared in the IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference ISGT 2011, ©2011 IEEE.

Each chapter should be preceded by an abstract (10–15 lines long) that summarizes the content. The abstract will appear onlineat www.SpringerLink.comand be available with unrestricted access. This allows unregistered users to read the abstract as a teaser for the complete chapter. As a general rule the abstracts will not appear in the printed version of your book unless it is the style of your particular book or that of the series to which your book belongs. Please use the ’starred’ version of the new Springer abstractcommand for typesetting the text of the online abstracts (cf. source file of this chapter template abstract) and include them with the source files of your manuscript. Use the plain abstractcommand if the abstract is also to appear in the printed version of the book.

Acknowledgments

We are grateful to Dr. Anna Osepayshvili for very helpful discussions about power system economics and markets. Our computations were done in Matlab, using the CPLEX [14] and Gurobi [11] solvers. We used the Yalmip [17] and Tomlab [13] solver interfaces to code up our optimization problems. We are grateful to Johan Löfberg for his help with our Yalmip implementations, and Per Rutquist for his help with our Tomlab implementations.
