Unit Commitment (UC) is a fundamental problem in power system operations. When coupled with generation maintenance, the joint optimization problem poses significant computational challenges due to coupling constraints linking maintenance and UC decisions. Obviously, these challenges grow with the size of the network. With the introduction of sensors for monitoring generator health and condition-based maintenance(CBM), these challenges have been magnified. ADMM-based decentralized methods have shown promise in solving large-scale UC problems, especially in vertically integrated power systems. However, in their current form, these methods fail to deliver similar computational performance and scalability when considering the joint UC and CBM problem. This paper provides a novel decentralized optimization framework for solving large-scale, joint UC and CBM problems. Our approach relies on the novel use of the subgradient method to temporally decouple various subproblems of the ADMM-based formulation of the joint problem along the maintenance horizon. By effectively utilizing multithreading, our decentralized subgradient approach delivers superior computational performance and eliminates the need to move sensor data thereby alleviating privacy and security concerns. Using experiments on large scale test cases, we show that our framework can provide a speedup of upto 50x as compared to various state of the art benchmarks without compromising on solution quality.

Decentralized methods are gaining popularity for data-driven models in power systems as they offer significant computational scalability while guaranteeing full data ownership by utility stakeholders. However, decentralized methods still require shar ing information about network flow estimates over public facing communication channels, which raises privacy concerns. In this paper we propose a differential privacy driven approach geared towards decentralized formulations of mixed integer operations and maintenance optimization problems that protects network flow estimates. We prove strong privacy guarantees by leveraging the linear relationship between the phase angles and the flow. To address the challenges associated with the mixed integer and dynamic nature of the problem, we introduce an exponential moving average based consensus mechanism to enhance convergence, coupled with a control chart based convergence criteria to improve stability. Our experimental results obtained on the IEEE 118 bus case demonstrate that our privacy preserving approach yields solution qualities on par with benchmark methods without differential privacy. To demonstrate the computational robustness of our method, we conduct experiments using a wide range of noise levels and operational scenarios.

Distributed optimization for solving non-convex Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problems in power systems has attracted tremendous attention in the last decade. Most studies are based on the geographical decomposition of IEEE test systems for verifying the feasibility of the proposed approaches. However, it is not clear if one can extrapolate from these studies that those approaches can be applied to very large-scale real-world systems. In this paper, we show, for the first time, that distributed optimization can be effectively applied to a large-scale real transmission network, namely, the Polish 2383-bus system for which no pre-defined partitions exist, by using a recently developed partitioning technique. More specifically, the problem solved is the AC OPF problem with geographical decomposition of the network using the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) method in conjunction with the partitioning technique. Through extensive experimental results and analytical studies, we show that with the presented partitioning technique the convergence performance of ADMM can be improved substantially, which enables the application of distributed approaches on very large-scale systems.
Large scale power systems are comprised of regional utilities with IIoT enabled assets that stream sensor readings in real time. In order to detect cyberattacks, the globally acquired, real time sensor data needs to be analyzed in a centralized fashi on. However, owing to operational constraints, such a centralized sharing mechanism turns out to be a major obstacle. In this paper, we propose a blockchain based decentralized framework for detecting coordinated replay attacks with full privacy of sensor data. We develop a Bayesian inference mechanism employing locally reported attack probabilities that is tailor made for a blockchain framework. We compare our framework to a traditional decentralized algorithm based on the broadcast gossip framework both theoretically as well as empirically. With the help of experiments on a private Ethereum blockchain, we show that our approach achieves good detection quality and significantly outperforms gossip driven approaches in terms of accuracy, timeliness and scalability.
We present a Gauss-Newton-Krylov solver for large deformation diffeomorphic image registration. We extend the publicly available CLAIRE library to multi-node multi-graphics processing unit (GPUs) systems and introduce novel algorithmic modifications that significantly improve performance. Our contributions comprise ($i$) a new preconditioner for the reduced-space Gauss-Newton Hessian system, ($ii$) a highly-optimized multi-node multi-GPU implementation exploiting device direct communication for the main computational kernels (interpolation, high-order finite difference operators and Fast-Fourier-Transform), and ($iii$) a comparison with state-of-the-art CPU and GPU implementations. We solve a $256^3$-resolution image registration problem in five seconds on a single NVIDIA Tesla V100, with a performance speedup of 70% compared to the state-of-the-art. In our largest run, we register $2048^3$ resolution images (25 B unknowns; approximately 152$times$ larger than the largest problem solved in state-of-the-art GPU implementations) on 64 nodes with 256 GPUs on TACCs Longhorn system.
This paper studies the problem of decentralized measurement feedback stabilization of nonlinear interconnected systems. As a natural extension of the recent development on control vector Lyapunov functions, the notion of output control vector Lyapuno v function (OCVLF) is introduced for investigating decentralized measurement feedback stabilization problems. Sufficient conditions on (local) stabilizability are discussed which are based on the proposed notion of OCVLF. It is shown that a decentralized controller for a nonlinear interconnected system can be constructed using these conditions under an additional vector dissipation-like condition. To illustrate the proposed method, two examples are given.
