Abstract：We are at the cusp of a historical transformation of our power systems into a more sustainable, dynamic, intelligent, and distributed form. Hundreds of millions of distributed energy resources, such as solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, smart buildings, smart appliances, storage devices, and power electronics, that may not only consume, but may also generate, sense, compute, communicate and actuate. We are interested in the optimization and control of a large network of these resources in a plug-and-play environment of the future. This requires solving power flow equations which is well-known to be hard. The grid, however, solves them in real-time exactly at scale, and we propose to exploit it explicitly to carry out part of our optimization algorithm. This approach not only improves scalability, but also naturally adapts to evolving network conditions. In this talk, we present two examples.
