Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system that may be configured to operate a power grid, including generation participants, consumers, and a controller that administers a market for the power generation participants and the consumers on the power grid. The operation of the power grid may include: performing power grid coordination calculations based upon, at least in part, constraints that pertain to the flow and/or congestion of power on the grid; and managing the coordination calculations by reducing a number of constraints used in the coordination calculations, the managing including a first step of coarse screening of the constraints, a second step of deterministic fine screening of the constraints, and a third step of statistical fine screening of the constraints. This second step may cause identification of constraints that are redundant and/or dominated by other constraints.

Abstract: The present exemplary embodiments relate to a privacy preserving approach to peak load management. It finds example application in conjunction with, for example, power systems, such as smart homes, smart buildings, microgrids, distribution systems and bulk systems, and energy management systems.
