Improved Network-Calculus Nodal Delay-Bounds in Time-Sensitive Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Eleni Stai, Ehsan Mohammadpour

In time-sensitive networks, bounds on worst-case delays are typically obtained by using network calculus and assuming that flows are constrained by bit-level arrival curves. However, in IEEE TSN or IETF DetNet, source flows are constrained on the number of ...

On the Solution of the Optimal Power Flow for Three-Phase Radial Distribution Networks With Energy Storage

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Cong Wang, Eleni Stai

We study a multiperiod optimal power flow (OPF) problem in unbalanced three-phase radial distribution networks with batteries. To address this problem, we first take the resistance-line battery model that treats lossy batteries by adding resistive lines an ...

Online Battery Storage Management via Lyapunov Optimization in Active Distribution Grids

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Cong Wang, Eleni Stai

We consider low run-time complexity power management in distribution grids with renewable energy sources (RESs) and batteries, where forecasts are unavailable. We propose iterative Lyapunov Real-time Control (iLypRC), a fast online algorithm, which does no ...

Admissibility of Uncertain Injections in Quadratic Algebraic Systems

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Cong Wang, Eleni Stai

We study the admissibility problem in multivariate algebraic systems, such as ac electrical networks, where the power injection is quadratic in the state. The goal of such systems is to ensure that the state stays in some security set (e.g., magnitudes of ...

FCR: Fast and Consistent Controller-Replication in Software Defined Networking

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Eleni Stai, Mia Primorac, Maaz Mashood Mohiuddin

We consider the problem of coordination among replicated SDN controllers, where the challenge is to ensure a consistent view of the network while reacting to network events in a prompt manner. Existing solutions are either consensus-based, which achieve co ...

A Receding Horizon Control Approach For Re-Dispatching Stochastic Heterogeneous Resources Accounting for Grid and Battery Losses

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Emil Namor, Eleni Stai

In this paper, we propose a re-dispatch scheme for radial distribution grids hosting stochastic Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and controllable batteries. At each re-dispatch round, the proposed scheme computes a new dispatch plan that modifies and ex ...

Improved Delay Bound for a Service Curve Element with Known Transmission Rate

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Eleni Stai, Ehsan Mohammadpour

Network calculus is often used to prove delay bounds in deterministic networks, using arrival and service curves. We consider a FIFO system that offers a rate-latency service curve and where packet transmission occurs at line rate without pre-emption. The ...

Improved Credit Bounds for the Credit-Based Shaper in Time-Sensitive Networking

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Eleni Stai, Ehsan Mohammadpour

In Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), it is important to formally prove per-flow latency and backlog bounds. To this end, recent works have applied network calculus and obtained latency bounds from service curves. The latency component of such service curves ...

Latency and Backlog Bounds in Time-Sensitive Networking with Credit Based Shapers and Asynchronous Traffic Shaping

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ehsan Mohammadpour, Eleni Stai, Maaz Mashood Mohiuddin

We compute bounds on end-to-end worst-case latency and on nodal backlog size for a per-class deterministic network that implements Credit Based Shaper (CBS) and Asynchronous Traffic Shaping (ATS), as proposed by the Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standard ...
