This workshop focuses on stochastic modeling, analysis, and control for communication and power networks. Spiraling demand for internet services and the highly decentralized structure of the internet present unique challenges to traditional methods of system control and resource pricing. Deregulation of electric power markets gives rise to a broad range of critically important problems concerned with the dynamic interaction of electricity markets, power generation, and complex power distribution networks. Reduced complexity models based on fluid and diffusion approximations, large deviations theory, aggregation methods, spectral methods, graph-based algorithms, and other analytical methods will be covered. Models of real-time markets with network constraints, risk management (futures markets), pricing, and system reliability will be addressed. Control models employing pricing mechanisms will be an important focus.

Panel Discussion:
The August 2003 Eastern U.S. Blackout? Lessons
and Questions for Transmission Network Policy, Control
and Pricing This panel will first review the events surrounding the U.S. blackout of August 2003. Using simulation and visualization tools, Tom Overbye will briefly illustrate the sequence and mechanisms of transmission equipment failures that led to cascading network failure and blackout. The discussion will use these events to motivate challenges faced in both shorter time scale control policies for allocating transmission resources, and longer term pricing policies to create incentive for "appropriate" transmission expansion. The panel and group discussion to follow will seek to lay groundwork for future work on mathematical models and analyses that might rationally inform the policy decisions facing the US power grid. |
