Recent Very Large Scale Events (VLSEs) such as Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and Hurricane Maria in 2017, which plunged millions of people into darkness, have led to discussions and an awareness of the importance of grid resilience. Historically such conversations have been about the reliability of...

As the world's fastest-growing local energy technology, distributed photovoltaics (DPV) has upended the traditional paradigm of one-way power flow from the grid to consumers. Solar electricity systems located close to grid consumers known here as DPV empower consumers to produce electricity for...

The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a monitoring system consisting of a large number of wireless devices forming a multi-hop network without infrastructure. WSN nodes are generally cheap resource-constrained devices detecting environmental features using sensors.Although well-established...

A new generation of cellular technology has been deployed every decade since the 1980s. We are presently amid the global commercial deployment by Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) of the fifth generation (5G) of cellular technology; and concurrently, a flurry of research is engaged in designing...

This paper presents an optimal planning procedure and operational scheduling of micro energy grids (MEGs). The optimization objectives are to minimize cost, carbon dioxide emissions, and energy deficiency. The energy sources and conversion technologies included in this study are renewable based...

We describe a sparse grid collocation algorithm to compute recursive solutions of dynamic economies with a sizable number of state variables. We show how powerful this method may be in applications by computing the nonlinear recursive solution of an international real business cycle model with a...

This conceptual article seeks to integrate blockchain into current theory on the governance of inter-organizational exchanges within business networks. It is posited that a blockchain governance structure comprised of administrative, platform, and application level mechanisms represents a...
