Resource management framework for manufacturing grid

Based on open grid service architecture (OGSA) and Globus Toolkit 3. 0 (GT3), a manufacturing grid (MG) is proposed to realize resource sharing and collaborative working among manufacturing enterprises. Nevertheless, resource management in MG is much more complicated than that in other grid applications due to the geographically distributed manufacturing resources, which range from CAD, CAPP and CAE to various kinds of machine tools. With the interaction of manufacturing grid information service (MGIS, developed by ourselves) and globus resource allocation manager (GRAM, provided by GT3), a resource management framework is presented to perform the functions of resource encapsulation, registry, discovery and monitoring. Furthermore, the application architecture and an example are depicted to illustrate the utilization of the resource management system.

A flexible architecture for job management in a grid environment

Job management is a key issue in computational grids, and normally involves job definition, scheduling, executing and monitoring. However, job management in the existing grid middleware needs to be improved in terms of efficiency and flexibility. This paper addresses a flexible architecture for job management with detailed design and implementation. Frameworks for job scheduling and monitoring, as two important aspects, are also presented. The proposed job management has the advantages of reusability of job definition, flexible and automatic file operation, visual steering of file transfer and job execution, and adaptive application job scheduler. A job management wizard is designed to implement each step. Therefore, what the grid user needs to do is only to define the job by constructing necessary information at runtime. In addition, the job space is adopted to ensure the security of the job management. Experimental results showed that this approach is user-friendly and system efficient.

Price-Based Residential Demand Response Management in Smart Grids:A Reinforcement Learning-Based Approach

This paper studies price-based residential demand response management(PB-RDRM)in smart grids,in which non-dispatchable and dispatchable loads(including general loads and plug-in electric vehicles(PEVs))are both involved.The PB-RDRM is composed of a bi-level optimization problem,in which the upper-level dynamic retail pricing problem aims to maximize the profit of a utility company(UC)by selecting optimal retail prices(RPs),while the lower-level demand response(DR)problem expects to minimize the comprehensive cost of loads by coordinating their energy consumption behavior.The challenges here are mainly two-fold:1)the uncertainty of energy consumption and RPs;2)the flexible PEVs’temporally coupled constraints,which make it impossible to directly develop a model-based optimization algorithm to solve the PB-RDRM.To address these challenges,we first model the dynamic retail pricing problem as a Markovian decision process(MDP),and then employ a model-free reinforcement learning(RL)algorithm to learn the optimal dynamic RPs of UC according to the loads’responses.Our proposed RL-based DR algorithm is benchmarked against two model-based optimization approaches(i.e.,distributed dual decomposition-based(DDB)method and distributed primal-dual interior(PDI)-based method),which require exact load and electricity price models.The comparison results show that,compared with the benchmark solutions,our proposed algorithm can not only adaptively decide the RPs through on-line learning processes,but also achieve larger social welfare within an unknown electricity market environment.

Resource management and job scheduling of China earthquake grid experiment system: Construction of resource management and job dynamic scheduling model ProRMJS

Grid technique is taken as the third generation internet technology and resource management is the core of it. Aiming at the problems of resource management of CEDAGrid （China Earthquake Disaster Alleviation and Simulation Grid） in its preliminary construction, this paper presents a resource management and job scheduling model： ProRMJS to solve these problems. For platform supposed agreeably each computing node can provide computation service, ProRMJS uses ＂computation pool＂ to support scheduler, and then the scheduler allocates jobs dynamically according to computing capability and status of each node to ensure the stability of the platform. At the same time, ProRMJS monitors the status of job on each node and sets a time threshold to manage the job scheduling. By estimating the computing capability of each node, ProRMJS allocates jobs on demand to solve the problem of supposing each node can finish the job acquiescently. When calculating the computing capability of each node, ProRMJS allows for the various factors that affect the computing capability and then the efficiency of the platform is improved. Finally the validity of the model is verified by an example.

Adaptive Trust Management Framework in P2P Grid Computing

In P2P Grid computing systems, the authorization decision is often tackled by two different trust management methods： policy-based approach, where authorization are built on logical rules and verifiable properties encoded in signed credentials, and reputation-based approach, based on collecting, aggregating and disseminating reputation among the peers. However, the overhead caused by proof of compliance on authorization and the absence of certifying authorities may negate the strong and objective security advantages of policy-based approach, whilst vagueness, complexity and inaccurate characterization caused by reputation evolution may eliminate the quantitative and flexible advantages of reputation-based approach. We propose an adaptive trust management framework, which combines the merit of policy proof and reputation evolution such that authorization is aware of not only the strong and objective security traits, but also the calculability and the availability security traits. Finally, the framework of system is proposed.

Energy Management for a Residential Microgrid Using Wavelet Transform and Fuzzy Control Including a Vehicle-to-Grid System

This paper presents the design and implementation of an energy management system （EMS） with wavelet transform and fuzzy control for a residential micro-grid. The hybrid system in this paper consists of a wind turbine generator, photovoltaic （PV） panels, an electric vehicle （EV）, and a super capacitor （SC）, which is able to connect or disconnect to the main grid. The control strategy is responsible for compensating the difference between the generated power by the wind and solar generators and the demanded power by the loads. Wavelet transform decomposes the power difference into a smoothed component and a fast fluctuated component. The command approach used for fuzzy logic rules considers the state of charging （SOC） of EV, renewable production, and the load demand as parameters. Furthermore, the command rules are developed in order to ensure a reliable grid when taking into account the EV battery protection to decide the output power of the EV. The model of the hybrid system is developed in detail under Matlab/Simulink software environment.

Trust Management in Grid-Trust Assessment and Trust Degree Calculation of a Resource—A Novel Approach

Grid Computing is concerned with the sharing and coordinated use of diverse resources in distributed Virtual Organizations. This introduces various challenging security issues. Among these trusting, the resources to be shared and coordinated with the dynamic and multi-institutional virtual organization environment becomes a challenging security issue. In this paper, an approach for trust assessment and trust degree calculation using subjective logic is suggested to allocate the Data Grid or Computational Grid user a reliable, trusted resource for maintaining the integrity of the data with fast response and accurate results. The suggested approach is explained using an example scenario and also from the simulation results. It is observed that there is an increase in the resource utilization of a trusted resource in contrast to the resource which is not trusted.

Optimal Demand-Side Management for Smart Micro Grid with Storage

In this paper, an autonomous and distributive demand-side management based on Bayesian game theory is developed and applied among users in a grid connected micro-grid with storage. To derive that strategy, an energy consumption of shiftable loads belonging to a given user is modelled as a noncooperative three-player game of incomplete information, in which each user plays against the storage unit and an opponent gathering all the other users in the micro-grid. Each player is assumed to be endowed with statistical information about its behavior and that of its opponents so that he can take actions maximizing his expected utility. Results of the proposed strategy evaluated by simulating, under MATLAB environment, a connected micro-grid with storage device evidence its efficacy when employed to manage the charging of electric vehicles.
