Abstract:
Interoperabilität von verteilten Systemen ist eine Grundlage für die Entwicklung von neuen und innovativen Geschäftslösungen. Sie erlaubt es existierende Dienste, die auf verschiedenen Systemen angeboten werden, so miteinander zu verknüpfen, dass neue oder erweiterte Dienste zur Verfügung gestellt werden können. Außerdem kann durch diese Integration die Zuverlässigkeit von Diensten erhöht werden. Das Erreichen und Bewerten von Interoperabilität stellt jedoch eine finanzielle und zeitliche Herausforderung dar. Zur Sicherstellung und Bewertung von Interoperabilität werden systematische Methoden benötigt. Um systematisch Interoperabilität von Systemen erreichen und bewerten zu können, wurde im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit ein Prozess zur Verbesserung und Beurteilung von Interoperabilität (IAI) entwickelt. Der IAI-Prozess beinhaltet drei Phasen und kann die Interoperabilität von verteilten, homogenen und auch heterogenen Systemen bewerten und verbessern. Die Bewertung erfolgt dabei durch Interoperabilitätstests, die manuell oder automatisiert ausgeführt werden können. Für die Automatisierung von Interoperabilitätstests wird eine neue Methodik vorgestellt, die einen Entwicklungsprozess für automatisierte Interoperabilitätstestsysteme beinhaltet. Die vorgestellte Methodik erleichtert die formale und systematische Bewertung der Interoperabilität von verteilten Systemen. Im Vergleich zur manuellen Prüfung von Interoperabilität gewährleistet die hier vorgestellte Methodik eine höhere Testabdeckung, eine konsistente Testdurchführung und wiederholbare Interoperabilitätstests. Die praktische Anwendbarkeit des IAI-Prozesses und der Methodik für automatisierte Interoperabilitätstests wird durch drei Fallstudien belegt. In der ersten Fallstudie werden Prozess und Methodik für Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Netzwerke instanziiert. Die Interoperabilität von IMS-Netzwerken wurde bisher nur manuell getestet. In der zweiten und dritten Fallstudie wird der IAI-Prozess zur Beurteilung und Verbesserung der Interoperabilität von Grid- und Cloud-Systemen angewendet. Die Bewertung und Verbesserung dieser Interoperabilität ist eine Herausforderung, da Grid- und Cloud-Systeme im Gegensatz zu IMS-Netzwerken heterogen sind. Im Rahmen der Fallstudien werden Möglichkeiten für Integrations- und Interoperabilitätslösungen von Grid- und Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud-Systemen sowie von Grid- und Platform as a Service (PaaS) Cloud-Systemen aufgezeigt. Die vorgestellten Lösungen sind in der Literatur bisher nicht dokumentiert worden. Sie ermöglichen die komplementäre Nutzung von Grid- und Cloud-Systemen, eine vereinfachte Migration von Grid-Anwendungen in ein Cloud-System sowie eine effiziente Ressourcennutzung. Die Interoperabilitätslösungen werden mit Hilfe des IAI-Prozesses bewertet. Die Durchführung der Tests für Grid-IaaS-Cloud-Systeme erfolgte manuell. Die Interoperabilität von Grid-PaaS-Cloud-Systemen wird mit Hilfe der Methodik für automatisierte Interoperabilitätstests bewertet. Interoperabilitätstests und deren Beurteilung wurden bisher in der Grid- und Cloud-Community nicht diskutiert, obwohl sie eine Basis für die Entwicklung von standardisierten Schnittstellen zum Erreichen von Interoperabilität zwischen Grid- und Cloud-Systemen bieten.

Abstract:
Developing a Grid within High Energy Physics for the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator is characterised as a highly collaborative, distributed and dynamic systems development effort. This research examines the way this distributed Grid is developed, deployed and provided as a service to the thousands of physicists analysing data from the Large Hadron Collider. The particle physics community has always been at the forefront of computing with a tradition of working in large distributed collaborations, therefore providing a "distinctive" case of distributed systems development practice. The focus of concern is the collaborative systems development practices employed by particle physicists in their attempt to develop a usable Grid. The research aims to offer lessons and practical recommendations to those involved in globally distributed systems development and to inform the information systems development literature. Global software development presents unaddressed challenges to organisations and it is argued that there is an urgent need for new systems development practices and strategies to be created that can facilitate and embrace the rapid changes of the environment and the complexities involved in such projects. The contribution of the study, therefore, is a framework of guidance towards engendering what the author defines as "Hybrid Experimental Agile Distributed Systems Development Communities" revealing a set of dynamic collaborative practices for those organisational contexts engaged in distributed systems development. The framework will allow them to reflect on their own practice and perhaps foster a similarly dynamic flexible community in order to manage their global software development effort. The research is in the form of an interpretative qualitative exploratory case study, which draws upon Activity Theory, and frames the Grid's distributed development activity as a complex overarching networked activity system influenced by the context, the community's tools, rules, norms, culture, history, past experiences, shared visions and collaborative way of working. Tensions and contradictions throughout the development of this Grid are explored and surfaced, with the research focusing on how these are resolved in order for the activity system to achieve stability. Such stability leads to the construction of new knowledge and learning and the formation of new systems development practices. In studying this, practices are considered as an emergent property linked to improvisation, bricolage and dynamic competences that unfold as large-scale projects evolve.

Abstract:
La tesis presenta una aproximació a un conjunt de tècniques per permetre l'extensió de les capacitats computacionals, sota demanada, en comunitats formades per usuaris d'Internet que volen agregar els seus recursos per aconseguir una finalitat comuna. Aquest tipus de comunitats, emergeixen com a noves formes d'organització gràcies a l'increment de les capacitats computacionals i l'ampla de banda. La computació voluntaria com la que es dona en sistemes com SETI@home, Grids col.laboratius com OurGrid o LaCOLLA, Ad-hoc i Grids d'igual a igual com P-Grid o X-Grid d'Apple, Grids Oberts com els adreçats per SORMA o Grid4All i moltes d'altres formes de computació Grid basades en agrupació de recursos en forma d'Organitzacions Virtuals són l'objectiu d'aquest treball. Aquests sistems es caracteritzen pel propòsit dels seus participants, és a dir, dur a terme un objectiu comú fent ús de l'agregació dels sesus propis recursos. Els sistemes esmentats, contrariament als sistemes Grid d'alt rendiment computacional, són oberts a nous participants fet que els converteix en escenaris inpredictibles, dinàmics i on els recuros poden connectar-se i desconnectar-se de forma espontànea. Mentre que l'aspecte crític dels Grids d'altes prestacions és el rendiment computacional, l'estabilitat i la disponibilitat són els aspectes més importants en els sistemes adrec cats en aquest treball. La tesis homogeinitza els conceptes dels paradigmes anteriors sota el nom de Sistemes Contributius, nom que és usat al llarg de la dissertació per referir-nos a sistemes en els quals els seus usuaris fan contribució dels seus recursos per tal que aquest siguin usats de forma col.lectiva i axií aconseguir un objectiu comú. L'expansió de recursos en els Sistemes Contributius és una funcionalitat requerida per tal de augmentar les limitades capacitats computacionals dels grups col.laboratius formats de forma ad-hoc. Sobretot en moments puntuals quan els recursos necessaris són majors que els disponibles en el grup. Quatre aspectes s'adressen al llarg de la dissertació. Primer, les propietats i principals applicacions dels Sistemes Contributius són identificades, així com es motiva la necessitat d'infraestructures que permetin l'expansió de recursos computacionals sota demanda. Aquestes idees van en la direcció de l'Utility Computing, emergents línies de negoci de les principals companyies de la IT. D'aquesta manera, la tesis proposa la provisió de recursos computacionals sota demanda a aquelles organitzacions que en necessitin, mitjanc cant l'agregació de recursos dels extrems d'Internet, ja siguin usuaris finals de la xarxa, altres organitzacions virtuals o proveidors de recursos. En aquest treball, l'assignació de recursos es gestionada per models de mercat ja que proveixen de mecanismes eficients i simples per gestionar l'assignació de recursos. Aquesta proposta aporta noves oportunitats als usuaris finals d'Internet per tal d'establir el seu negoci a la xarxa mitjanc cant la venda dels seus recursos no usats. A més a més aquest treball dona l'oportunitat a communitats petites a creixer i a portar capacitats de super-computació als usuaris finals d'Internet. En segon lloc, la tesis descriu semànticament els recursos computacionals per tal de constru"ir una base comú de coneixement sobre els recursos d'Internet. La descripció semàntica dels recursos permet un enteniment comú de la naturalesa dels recursos, permetent així l'agrupació i agregació de diferents tipus de tecnologíes mentre es mantenen la mateixa semàntica. Una base semàntica comú permet que aplicacions i sistemes de gestió de recursos siguin independents de la naturalesa real dels recursos. En aquest treball considerem com a aspecte fonamental aillar la gestió dels recursos de la seva naturalesa específica. La descripció semàntica a més permet el desenvolupament de especificacions genèriques que ens permeten definir els requeriments dels usuaris en sistemes d'assignació de recursos basats en mercats computacionals. Tercer, arquitectures que permeten l'expansió de recursos computacionals sota demanda en Sistemes Contributius són presentades. Aquestes arquitectures han estat especialment dissenyades per prove"ir de recursos computacionals mitjanc cant mercats a escenaris caracteritzats pel dinamisme, evolució i heterogene"itat dels seus recursos. L'arquitectura aporta les principals funcionalitats orientades a l'assignació de recursos mitjanc cant subhastes i permet a més a més l'execució d'aquests mercats sota demanda. Finalment, es presenta un mecanisme de mercat adaptat a l'assignació de recursos computacionals. Aquesta contribució es motiva pel fet que no existeix fins avui cap mecanisme que permeti l'assignació efficient de recursos computacionals en que la seva única diferència és la unitat de temps en la que s'ofereixen. La tesis construeix un camí per assolir l'expansió de recursos computacionals de forma flexible i decentralitzada en comunitats on els recursos són compartits pels seus participants. Aquest camí es construeix mitjanc cant l'anàlisis dels escenaris d'aplicació, l'estudi i definició de models semàntics que permeten la descripció dels recursos computacionals, proposant també arquitectures flexibles i configurables que permeten aconseguir l'expansió dels recursos computacionals sota demanda i proposant mecanismes de mercat adaptats a tal escenari.
The thesis presents an approach to on-demand capacity expansion in communities of Internet users that aggregate their resources to achieve a common objective. Such commu- nities are emerging as forms of organisation taking advantage of an increasing broadband access and computational capacity. Volunteer computing such as SETI@home, Collab- orative Grids such as OurGrid and LaCOLLA, Ad-hoc and Peer-to-Peer Grids, such as P-Grid and the XGrid project from Apple, Open Grids such as those addressed by SORMA and Grid4All and many other approaches of Grid Computing based on Virtual Organisa- tions are the focus of our work. These systems are characterised by the purpose of their participants, i.e. to achieve a common objective taking advantage of the aggregation of other resources. The cited systems, in contrast to high performance computing Grids, are open to new participants, which makes their behaviour unpredictable and dynamic, and resources are usually connected and disconnected spontaneously. While the critical aspect of high performance Grids is computational performance, stability and availability are the main issues for the systems addressed in this work. The thesis homogenises the concepts of those paradigms under the term Contributory System, which is used throughout the thesis to refer to the systems where users provide their resources to be used collectively to achieve a common objective. Resource expan- sion in Contributory Systems is required so as to increase the limited capacities of ad-hoc collaborative groups under unexpected load surges, temporary resource requirements or other policies defined by the objectives of the Virtual Organisation that they constitute. Four aspects are addressed by the dissertation. Firstly, it identifies the main properties and applications of Contributory Systems and motivates the need for infrastructures to enable on-demand resource expansion. This goes in the direction of Utility Computing trends which are main business lines for IT companies. Thus the thesis proposes the on-demand provision of idle resources from the extremes of the Internet, other Virtual Or- ganisations or Resource Providers to those organisations that have resource needs. In this work, resource allocation is handled by market models which provide efficient while simple mechanisms to mediate the allocation of resources. This proposal enables new emerging opportunities to Internet users to make their business on the Internet by selling their idle resources. Besides, this brings the opportunity to small communities to grow and to bring super-computing capacities to Internet end-users. Secondly, the thesis describes semantically Computational Resources so as to build a common knowledge about the Internets resources. The semantic description enables a common understanding of the nature of resources, permitting the pooling and aggrega- tion of distinct types of technologies while maintaining the same semantics. This makes applications and resource management frameworks independent of the real nature of the resources which we claim as a fundamental aspect to keep resource management indepen- dent of the dynamics and evolution of technology in computational environments, such as in Contributory Systems. A semantic description permits the development of generic specifications to provide bid and offer descriptions in computational markets. Thirdly, the architecture for on-demand resource expansion in Contributory Systems is presented. It has been designed to provide the main functionalities to on-demand provi- sion of resources through markets to scenarios characterized by dynamism, evolution and heterogeneity. The architecture provides the main market oriented functionalities and en- ables dynamic and on-demand execution of market mechanisms. Finally, a specific Grid-oriented market mechanism is presented. The approach is moti- vated due to the unsuitability of current auctions to efficiently allocate time-differentiated resources (usually provided by many different resource providers) such as most of the re- sources in a Contributory System. The thesis builds a roadmap to achieve flexible and decentralized resource expansion in communities where resources are shared by their participants by analysing the main scenarios where it can be applied, providing the semantics and specification to enable the description of the user's requirements, proposing a flexible and configurable architecture to deal with on-demand resource expansion in Virtual Organisations and proposing an specific mechanism adapted to trade computational resources.

Abstract:
Grid computing systems are suffering from reliability and scalability problems caused by their reliance on centralised middleware. In this thesis, we argue that peer to peer middleware could help alleviate these problems. We show that peer to peer techniques can be used to provide reliable storage systems, which can be used as the basis for peer to peer grid middleware. We examine and develop new methods of providing reliable peer to peer storage, giving a new algorithm for this purpose, and assessing its performance through a combination of analysis and simulation. We then give an architecture for a peer to peer grid information system based on this work. Performance evaluation of this information system shows that it improves scalability when compared to the original centralised system, and that it withstands the failure of participant nodes without a significant reduction in quality of service. New contributions include dynamic replication, a new method for maintaining reliable storage in a Distributed Hash Table, which we show allows for the creation of more reliable, higher performance systems with lower bandwidth usage than current techniques. A new analysis of the reliability of distributed storage systems is also presented, which shows for the first time that replica placement has a significant effect on reliability. A simulation of the performance of distributed storage systems provides for the first time a quantitative performance comparison between different placement patterns. Finally, we show how these reliable storage techniques can be applied to grid computing systems, giving a new architecture for a peer to peer grid information service for the SAM-Grid system. We present a thorough performance evaluation of a prototype implementation of this architecture. Many of these contributions have been published at peer reviewed conferences.

Abstract:
This thesis contributes to improve the photovoltaic Distributed Generation (DG) systems by proposing three novel methods to the system. On DC conversion side, a new integrated magnetic structure for interleaved converter and a new method to calculate the eddy current and hysteresis losses in the magnetic core were proposed. On inversion side, A new synchronisation method for grid tie inverters was suggested. The technique is using the Recursive Discrete Fourier Transform (RDFT) to find fundamental in grid waveform. On the DC converter side, the benefits of the new structure is to produce magnetic flux that alternate in the core across both directions of the BH curve. The advantages of alternating magnetic flux are, to increase the Root Mean Square (RMS) value of produced current with respect to core volume that lead to reduce the core size and reducing losses by using high permeability material. Furthermore, the proposed structure led to reduce the number of magnetic components which helped to improve the efficiency. The converter was tested and evaluated were the results show that the topology is able to produce high gain and it shows that the new interleaved structure is efficient. A new method to calculate the eddy current loss was proposed, where the flux waveform in the core was analysed to its original frequency component. Each of the components were utilized individually to find the loss. The effect of changing the duty cycle of the converter was taken into consideration on the total eddy current loss, as it will effect on the total harmonics content in the flux waveform. On the inverter side, due to recent developments combined with the increasing power demand by single phase non-linear loads where voltage spikes, harmonics and DC component were impacted the electric grid quality. These effects can likewise make the synchronisation process a challenge, where filters or Digital Signal processing (DSP) analysers are required to acquire the fundamental component as a consequence to the waveform deformation. A new linear approximation with RDFT is presented in this thesis for grid tie inverters. The new method provides a computation reduction as well as high accuracy in tracking the fundamental frequency in a distorted grid during synchronisation. The method accuracy was proved mathematically and simulated with different input signals. Error in magnitude and frequency measurement were measured, presented and compared with other research in order to verify the proposed method.

Abstract:
Computational grids and other heterogeneous, large-scale distributed systems require more powerful and more flexible authorization mechanisms to realize fine-grained access-control of resources. Computational grids are increasingly used for collaborative problem-solving and advanced science and engineering applications. Usage scenarios for advanced grids require support for small, dynamic working groups, direct delegation of access privileges among users, procedures for establishing trust relationships without requiring organizational level agreements, precise management by individuals of their privileges, and retention of authority by resource providers. Existing systems fail to provide the necessary flexibility and granularity to support these scenarios. The reasons include the overhead imposed by required administrator intervention, coarse granularity that only allows for all-or-nothing access control decisions, and the inability to implement finer-grained access control without requiring trusted application code. PRIMA, the model and system developed in this research, focuses on management and enforcement of fine-grained privileges. The PRIMA model introduces novel approaches that can be used in place of, or in combination with existing access control mechanisms. PRIMA enables the users of a system to manage access to their own assets directly without the need for, and costs of intervention by technical personnel. System administrators benefit from more flexible and fine-grained definition of access privileges and policies. A novel access control decision and enforcement model with support for legacy applications has been developed. The model uses on-demand account leasing and implements expressive enforcement mechanisms built on existing low-overhead security primitives of the operating systems. The combination of the PRIMA components constitutes a comprehensive security model that facilitates highly dynamic authorization scenarios and increases security through least privilege access to resources. In summary, PRIMA mechanisms enable the use of fine-grained access rights, reduce administrative costs to resource providers, enable ad-hoc and dynamic collaboration scenarios, and provide improved security service to long-lived grid communities.

Este trabalho de mestrado propõe uma plataforma para o desenvolvimento e a execução de aplicações distribuídas em grids computacionais. Tal plataforma visa simplificar o desenvolvimento dessas aplicações, ao mesmo tempo em que as torna capazes de usar recursos compartilhados em um grid. No esquema proposto, o ambiente de desenvolvimento do grid tem estreito relacionamento com o próprio grid, na medida em que o grid distribui a execução dos programas gerados pelo ambiente de desenvolvimento de forma automática. Além de definir a forma de desenvolver as aplicações, o presente trabalho de mestrado também propõe uma infra-estrutura para grids composta por um sistema de troca de mensagens, um escalonador baseado na teoria fuzzy e um mecanismo simples de persistência distribuída.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the development of such applications while delivering access to shared resources in a grid environment. In the proposed schema, the grid development environment has a close link with the grid itself as the grid distributes the execution of programs created by the development environment in an automated fashion. Besides presenting a way to develop applications, this thesis also proposes a grid infrastructure composed by a message system, a job scheduler based on fuzzy theory and a simple mechanism of distributed persistence.

Abstract:
As digital data-collection has increased in scale and number, it becomes an important type of resource serving a wide community of researchers. Cross-institutional data-sharing and collaboration introduce a suitable approach to facilitate those research institutions that are suffering the lack of data and related IT infrastructures. Grid computing has become a widely adopted approach to enable cross-institutional resource-sharing and collaboration. It integrates a distributed and heterogeneous collection of locally managed users and resources. This project proposes a distributed data warehouse system, which uses Grid technology to enable data-access and integration, and collaborative operations across multi-distributed institutions in the context of HV/AIDS research. This study is based on wider research into OGSA-based Grid services architecture, comprising a data-analysis system which utilizes a data warehouse, data marts, and near-line operational database that are hosted by distributed institutions. Within this framework, specific patterns for collaboration, interoperability, resource virtualization and security are included. The heterogeneous and dynamic nature of the Grid environment introduces a number of security challenges. This study also concerns a set of particular security aspects, including PKI-based authentication, single sign-on, dynamic delegation, and attribute-based authorization. These mechanisms, as supported by the Globus Toolkit’s Grid Security Infrastructure, are used to enable interoperability and establish trust relationship between various security mechanisms and policies within different institutions; manage credentials; and ensure secure interactions.

Abstract:
Autonomic computing aims at making computing systems self-managing by using autonomic managers in order to reduce obstacles caused by management complexity. This thesis presents results of research on self-management for large-scale distributed systems. This research was motivated by the increasing complexity of computing systems and their management. In the first part, we present our platform, called Niche, for programming self-managing component-based distributed applications. In our work on Niche, we have faced and addressed the following four challenges in achieving self-management in a dynamic environment characterized by volatile resources and high churn: resource discovery, robust and efficient sensing and actuation, management bottleneck, and scale. We present results of our research on addressing the above challenges. Niche implements the autonomic computing architecture, proposed by IBM, in a fully decentralized way. Niche supports a network-transparent view of the system architecture simplifying the design of distributed self-management. Niche provides a concise and expressive API for self-management. The implementation of the platform relies on the scalability and robustness of structured overlay networks. We proceed by presenting a methodology for designing the management part of a distributed self-managing application. We define design steps that include partitioning of management functions and orchestration of multiple autonomic managers. In the second part, we discuss robustness of management and data consistency, which are necessary in a distributed system. Dealing with the effect of churn on management increases the complexity of the management logic and thus makes its development time consuming and error prone. We propose the abstraction of Robust Management Elements, which are able to heal themselves under continuous churn. Our approach is based on replicating a management element using finite state machine replication with a reconfigurable replica set. Our algorithm automates the reconfiguration (migration) of the replica set in order to tolerate continuous churn. For data consistency, we propose a majority-based distributed key-value store supporting multiple consistency levels that is based on a peer-to-peer network. The store enables the tradeoff between high availability and data consistency. Using majority allows avoiding potential drawbacks of a master-based consistency control, namely, a single-point of failure and a potential performance bottleneck. In the third part, we investigate self-management for Cloud-based storage systems with the focus on elasticity control using elements of control theory and machine learning. We have conducted research on a number of different designs of an elasticity controller, including a State-Space feedback controller and a controller that combines feedback and feedforward control. We describe our experience in designing an elasticity controller for a Cloud-based key-value store using state-space model that enables to trade-off performance for cost. We describe the steps in designing an elasticity controller. We continue by presenting the design and evaluation of ElastMan, an elasticity controller for Cloud-based elastic key-value stores that combines feedforward and feedback control.

Power distribution systems are transitioning from traditional centralized-control distribution grids to the modern distribution grids that are more customer-interactive and include microgrids (MGs) as well as various unpredictable and multi-scale distributed energy resources (DERs). However, power fueled by renewable DERs such as wind and solar is highly variable and high penetration of renewable DERs in distribution system may potentially degrade the grid reliability and power quality. Moreover, the growth of such generation sources will increase the number of variables and cause scalability concerns for distribution system operators (DSOs) in handling system optimization problems. Further, with development of MGs, DSO and MG may have different owners and schedule renewable and non-renewable DERs based on their own economic rules and policies while secure and economic operation of the entire system is necessary. The widespread integration of wind and solar and deployment of MGs in distribution system make the task of distribution system operation management quite challenging especially from the viewpoint of variability, scalability, and multi-authority operation management. This research develops unique models and methodologies to overcome such issues and make distribution grid operation, optimization and control more robust against renewable intermittency, intractability, and operation complexity. The objectives of this research are as follows: 1) to develop a three-phase unbalanced large-scale distribution system to serve as a benchmark for studying challenges related to integration of DERs, such as scalability concerns in optimization problems, incremental power losses, voltage rise, voltage fluctuations, volt/var control, and operation management; 2) to develop a novel hierarchical and multilevel distributed optimization for power loss minimization via optimal reactive power provisioning from rooftop PVs which addresses the scalability issues with widespread DER integration in large-scale networks; 3) to develop a dynamic operational scheme for residential PV smart inverters to mitigate the fluctuations from rooftop PV integration under all-weather-condition (fully sunny, overcast and transient cloudy days) while increasing network efficiency in terms of power losses, and number of transformer load tap changer (LTC) operation; 4) to develop a stochastic energy management model for multi-authority distribution system operating under uncertainty from load and wind generation, which is able to precisely account interactions between DSO and MGs.

Abstract:
To integrate large volumes of renewables and use electricity more efficiently, many industrial trials are on-going around the world that aim to realize decentralized or hierarchical control of renewable and distributed energy resources, flexible loads and monitoring devices. As the cost and complexity involved in the centralized communications and control infrastructure may be prohibitive in controlling millions of these distributed energy resources and devices, distributed optimization methods are expected to become much more prevalent in the operation of future electric power systems, as they have the potential to address this challenge and can be applied to various applications such as optimal power ow, state estimation, voltage control, and many others. While many distributed optimization algorithms are developed mathematically, little effort has been reported so far on how these methods should actually be implemented in real-world large-scale systems. The challenges associated with this include identifying how to decompose the overall optimization problem, what communication infrastructures can support the information exchange among subproblems, and whether to coordinate the updates of the subproblems in a synchronous or asynchronous manner. This research is dedicated to developing mathematical tools to address these issues, particularly for solving the non-convex optimal power flow problem. As the first part of this thesis, we develop a partitioning method that defines the boundaries of regions when applying distributed algorithms to a power system. This partitioning method quantifies the computational couplings among the buses and groups the buses with large couplings into one region. Through numerical experiments, we show that the developed spectral partitioning approach is the key to achieving fast convergence of distributed optimization algorithms on large-scale systems. After the partitioning of the system is defined, one needs to determine whether the communications among neighboring regions are supported. Therefore, as the second part of this thesis, we propose models for centralized and distributed communications infrastructures and study the impact of communication delays on the efficiency of distributed optimization algorithms through network simulations. Our findings suggest that the centralized communications infrastructure can be prohibitive for distributed optimization and cost-effective migration paths to a more distributed communications infrastructure are necessary. As the sizes and complexities of subproblems and communication delays are generally heterogeneous, synchronous distributed algorithms can be inefficient as they require waiting for the slowest region in the system. Hence, as the third part of this thesis, we develop an asynchronous distributed optimization method and show its convergence for the considered optimal power flow problem. We further study the impact of parameter tuning, system partitioning and communication delays on the proposed asynchronous method and compare its practical performance with its synchronous counterpart. Simulation results indicate that the asynchronous approach can be more efficient with proper partitioning and parameter settings on large-scale systems. The outcome of this research provides important insights into how existing hardware and software solutions for Energy Management Systems in the power grid can be used or need to be extended for deploying distributed optimization methods, which establishes the interconnection between theoretical studies of distributed algorithms and their practical implementation. As the evolution towards a more distributed control architecture is already taking place in many utility networks, the approaches proposed in this thesis provide important tools and a methodology for adopting distributed optimization in power systems.

Abstract:
The needs to the sustainable development of electricity, energy efficiency improvement, and environment pollution reduction have favored the development of distributed generation (DG). But the problems come with increasing DG penetration in distribution networks. This thesis presents the Solar Energy Grid Integration System (SEGIS) Stage III project done by Portland General Electric (PGE), Advanced Energy, Sandia National Lab on a PGE selected distribution feeder. The feeder has six monitored commercial solar PV systems connected. The total power output from the PV systems has the potential to reach 30% of the feeder load. The author analyzes the performance of the solar feeder on both generation and voltage effects. As a project report, it introduced a new islanding detection done by other team members to give an islanding solution of future high penetration distribution networks. At last, the author describes micro-grid and grid support concepts in a SEGIS concept paper with some examples.

Abstract:
e-Learning is becoming an influential role as an economic method and a flexible mode of study in the institutions of higher education today which has a presence in an increasing number of college and university courses. e-Learning as system of systems is a dynamic and scalable environment. Within this environment, e-learning is still searching for a permanent, comfortable and serviceable position that is to be controlled, managed, flexible, accessible and continually up-to-date with the wider university structure. As most academic and business institutions and training centres around the world have adopted the e-learning concept and technology in order to create, deliver and manage their learning materials through the web, it has become the focus of investigation. However, management, monitoring and collaboration between these institutions and centres are limited. Existing technologies such as grid, web services and agents are promising better results. In this research a new architecture has been developed and adopted to make the e-learning environment more dynamic and scalable by dividing it into regional data grids which are managed and monitored by agents. Multi-agent technology has been applied to integrate each regional data grid with others in order to produce an architecture which is more scalable, reliable, and efficient. The result we refer to as Regionally Distributed Architecture for Dynamic e-Learning Environment (RDADeLE). Our RDADeLE architecture is an agent-based grid environment which is composed of components such as learners, staff, nodes, regional grids, grid services and Learning Objects (LOs). These components are built and organised as a multi-agent system (MAS) using the Java Agent Development (JADE) platform. The main role of the agents in our architecture is to control and monitor grid components in order to build an adaptable, extensible, and flexible grid-based e-learning system. Two techniques have been developed and adopted in the architecture to build LOs' information and grid services. The first technique is the XML-based Registries Technique (XRT). In this technique LOs' information is built using XML registries to be discovered by the learners. The registries are written in Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) format. The second technique is the Registered-based Services Technique (RST). In this technique the services are grid services which are built using agents. The services are registered with the Directory Facilitator (DF) of a JADE platform in order to be discovered by all other components. All components of the RDADeLE system, including grid service, are built as a multi-agent system (MAS). Each regional grid in the first technique has only its own registry, whereas in the second technique the grid services of all regional grids have to be registered with the DF. We have evaluated the RDADeLE system guided by both techniques by building a simulation of the prototype. The prototype has a main interface which consists of the name of the system (RDADeLE) and a specification table which includes Number of Regional Grids, Number of Nodes, Maximum Number of Learners connected to each node, and Number of Grid Services to be filled by the administrator of the RDADeLE system in order to create the prototype. Using the RST technique shows that the RDADeLE system can be built with more regional grids with less memory consumption. Moreover, using the RST technique shows that more grid services can be registered in the RDADeLE system with a lower average search time and the search performance is increased compared with the XRT technique. Finally, using one or both techniques, the XRT or the RST, in the prototype does not affect the reliability of the RDADeLE system.

Abstract:
During the 21st century there has been a tremendous increase in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) capacity globally, due to falling prices and introduction of economic incentives. PV systems are in most cases small-scale, installed on residential dwellings, which means that the power production is widely distributed and close to the end-user of electricity. In this licentiate thesis the distributed PV in the built environment is studied. A methodology for assessing short-term (sub-minute) solar variability was developed, which in the continuation of this PhD project could be used to study the aggregated impact on the local distribution grid from dispersed PV systems. In order to identify potential locations for PV systems in a future scenario, methodology was developed to assess the rooftop topography on both local level using LiDAR data and nationally through building statistics. Impacts on the distribution grid were investigated through a case study on a rural municipality in Sweden. It was found that the hosting capacity, i.e. the amount of PV power generation that can be integrated in the grid without exceeding certain power quality measures, is high, at least 30%. However, the hosting capacity on transmission level needs further investigation. As a first step a methodology was developed in order to model scenarios for hourly solar power generation, aggregated over wide areas, here applied to the whole Swedish power system. The model showed high correlation compared to PV power production reported to the Swedish transmission system operator (TSO). Furthermore, it was used to model scenarios of high PV penetration in Sweden, which give some indications on the impact on the power system, in terms of higher frequency of extreme ramps.

Abstract:
Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Technology: Electrical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology 2014
In recent times, renewable energy-based distributed generation (DG) has captivated the industrial sector and on a global scale this has become a leading research area. Distributed generation using wind, solar energy or biomass as a source of energy can produce electricity on a small scale. Therefore, there is a strong focus on using renewable energy as a safe alternative source of energy, especially because it can in future play a dominant role in the world’s energy production and help to tackle the increase of global warming caused by fossil energy. However, a major problem facing renewable energies is that they are highly dependent on weather conditions. Since the power generated by DG, as well as consumption, depends on the weather conditions, irregularity of production and consumption leads to frequency and voltage fluctuations, and it can become difficult to determine and monitor consumer usage at any given time. Distributed generation can then be subjected to discrepancies in consumer usage and this can lead to severe overloading. As a result, microgrids powered by DG, operating in a single, stand-alone controllable system mode, face new challenges in terms of balancing a cluster of loads. Balancing a cluster of loads by making sure at all times that the entire system operates without overloading, is an essential requirement for the proper operation of a power system. The microgrid load considered in this project is the sum of sensitive and non-sensitive loads, respectively 5 kW and 100 kW, which constitute load requirement of one village; this total load required by a number of villages is called a cluster load. Depending on the input power generated by a DG-based photovoltaic (PV) system, these loads can be controlled using a logic control switch (LCS). When the power produced is less than the minimum load required by a component of a cluster, overloading occurs. The purpose of using an LCS is to ensure that a stable system is maintained under various loads and resource conditions. An LCS is used to continuously monitor and adjust load through circuit breakers. It is a good alternative to load balancing for a cluster of villages in rural area where a microgrid is operating in stand-alone mode. The focus of this research is to design a photovoltaic system with a maximum capacity of 1 MW providing power to a cluster of rural villages, and operating in stand-alone mode, and then to apply different control techniques (droop control, dq0 reference frame + proportional integral (PI) controller, and PI controller alone) at the inverter terminal of the PV system, in order to evaluate the stability of the output voltage. Another goal of the research is to develop an energy management system (EMS) algorithm to support the PV system in reducing loads. Therefore, a iii stable system under various load and resource conditions, as well as suitable control mechanisms are required to model a PV system. There is a need for the modelling of a PV array using a physical modelling block in MATLAB (SIMULINK) software. The state flow provided by SIMULINK is used in this project to develop an algorithm for load balancing. The state flow gives possibilities of modelling complex algorithms by combining graphical and tabular representations to create sequential decision logic, derived from state transition diagrams and tables, flow charts and truth tables. Furthermore, the design of a microgrid using photovoltaic DG and an energy management system, has been developed. The present work mainly consists of a stand-alone microgrid operation, where the power generated must be equal to the load power. In addition, different control methods, consisting of a dq0 reference frame + PI controller, are analysed at the invertor terminal. Subsequently an LCS algorithm is developed; this is required to maintain the system within certain limits and prevents overloading. LCS algorithms are based on a flowchart and allow switching automatically selected loads, depending on the power (solar radiation) available. In addition, a flow chart provides an easy way of using a graphical transition state and state chart to establish a set of rules for the system. The simulation results show that both droop control and a dq0 reference frame + PI controller are much better than a PI controller alone; these results also compared well with similar studies found in the literature. Also, these results are further improved with an EMS in order to maintain the output voltage of the microgrid, by switching on and off certain loads depending on the input power. The modelling of the microgrid using DG, based on photovoltaic systems with a maximum capacity of 1 MW, supports and improves the PV system by reducing loads. Moreover, droop control, and dq0 transformation + PI control present a better result than PI controller alone.

Abstract:
Epigenetics is the study of factors that can change DNA and passed to next generation without change to DNA sequence. DNA methylation is one of the categories of epigenetic change. DNA methylation is the attachment of methyl group (CH3) to DNA. Most of the time it occurs in the sequences that G is followed by C known as CpG sites and by addition of methyl to the cytosine residue. As science and technology progress new data are available about individual’s DNA methylation profile in different conditions. Also new features discovered that can have role in DNA methylation. The availability of new data on DNA methylation and other features of DNA provide challenge to bioinformatics and the opportunity to discover new knowledge from existing data. In this research multiple data series were used to identify classes of methylation DNA to CpG sites. These classes are a) Never methylated CpG sites,b) Always methylated CpG sites, c) Methylated CpG sites in cancer/disease samples and non-methylated in normal samples d) Methylated CpG sites in normal samples and non-methylated in cancer/disease samples. After identification of these sites and their classes, an analysis was carried out to find the features which can better classify these sites a matrix of features was generated using four applications in EMBOSS software suite. Features matrix was also generated using the gUse/WS-PGRADE portal workflow system. In order to do this each of the four applications were grid enabled and ported to BOINC platform. The gUse portal was connected to the BOINC project via 3G-bridge. Each node in the workflow created portion of matrix and then these portions were combined together to create final matrix. This final feature matrix used in a hill climbing workflow. Hill climbing node was a JAVA program ported to BOINC platform. A Hill climbing search workflow was used to search for a subset of features that are better at classifying the CpG sites using 5 different measurements and three different classification methods: support vector machine, naïve bayes and J48 decision tree. Using this approach the hill climbing search found the models which contain less than half the number of features and better classification results. It is also been demonstrated that using gUse/WS-PGRADE workflow system can provide a modular way of feature generation so adding new feature generator application can be done without changing other parts. It is also shown that using grid enabled applications can speedup both feature generation and feature subset selection. The approach used in this research for distributed workflow based feature generation is not restricted to this study and can be applied in other studies that involve feature generation. The approach also needs multiple binaries to generate portions of features. The grid enabled hill climbing search application can also be used in different context as it only requires to follow the same format of feature matrix.

Abstract:
O surgimento de volumes de dados na ordem de petabytes cria a necessidade de desenvolver-se novas soluções que viabilizem o tratamento dos dados através do uso de sistemas de computação intensiva, como o MapReduce. O MapReduce é um framework de programação que apresenta duas funções: uma de mapeamento, chamada Map, e outra de redução, chamada Reduce, aplicadas a uma determinada entrada de dados. Este modelo de programação é utilizado geralmente em grandes clusters e suas tarefas Map ou Reduce são normalmente independentes entre si. O programador é abstraído do processo de paralelização como divisão e distribuição de dados, tolerância a falhas, persistência de dados e distribuição de tarefas. A motivação deste trabalho é aplicar o modelo de computação intensiva do MapReduce com grande volume de dados para uso em ambientes desktop grid. O objetivo então é investigar os algoritmos do MapReduce para adequar a computação intensiva aos ambientes heterogêneos. O trabalho endereça o problema da heterogeneidade de recursos, não tratando neste momento a volatilidade das máquinas. Devido às deficiências encontradas no MapReduce em ambientes heterogêneos foi proposto o MR-A++, que é um MapReduce com algoritmos adequados ao ambiente heterogêneo. O modelo do MR-A++ cria uma tarefa de medição para coletar informações, antes de ocorrer a distribuição dos dados. Assim, as informações serão utilizadas para gerenciar o sistema. Para avaliar os algoritmos alterados foi empregada a Análise 2k Fatorial e foram executadas simulações com o simulador MRSG. O simulador MRSG foi construído para o estudo de ambientes (homogêneos e heterogêneos) em larga escala com uso do MapReduce. O pequeno atraso introduzido na fase de setup da computação é compensado com a adequação do ambiente heterogêneo à capacidade computacional das máquinas, com ganhos de redução de tempo de execução dos jobs superiores a 70 % em alguns casos.
The emergence of data volumes in the order of petabytes creates the need to develop new solutions that make possible the processing of data through the use of intensive computing systems, as MapReduce. MapReduce is a programming framework that has two functions: one called Map, mapping, and another reducing called Reduce, applied to a particular data entry. This programming model is used primarily in large clusters and their tasks are normally independent. The programmer is abstracted from the parallelization process such as division and data distribution, fault tolerance, data persistence and distribution of tasks. The motivation of this work is to apply the intensive computation model of MapReduce with large volume of data in desktop grid environments. The goal then is to investigate the intensive computing in heterogeneous environments with use MapReduce model. First the problem of resource heterogeneity is solved, not treating the moment of the volatility. Due to deficiencies of the MapReduce model in heterogeneous environments it was proposed the MR-A++; a MapReduce with algorithms adequated to heterogeneous environments. The MR-A++ model creates a training task to gather information prior to the distribution of data. Therefore the information will be used to manager the system. To evaluate the algorithms change it was employed a 2k Factorial analysis and simulations with the simulant MRSG built for the study of environments (homogeneous and heterogeneous) large-scale use of MapReduce. The small delay introduced in phase of setup of computing compensates with the adequacy of heterogeneous environment to computational capacity of the machines, with gains in the run-time reduction of jobs exceeding 70% in some cases.

A outra arquitetura tem como foco o fortalecimento de grades computacionais desktop por meio da utilização de receptores digitais de TV (set-top box) como provedores de recursos onde a distribuição de objetos e as mensagens SOAP ocorrem por difusão. Os modelos foram validados por meio de testes reais feitos utilizando as respectivas implementações, o que demonstrou que são funcionais. Tais implementações disponibilizam produtos que cooperam com a inovação do desenvolvimento de aplicações para grades computacionais e também para outras categorias de sistemas distribuídos

Abstract:
This thesis is focused on distributed systems modeling using Petri nets. Distributed systems are increasingly being implemented in applications and computing systems, where their task is to ensure sufficient performance and stability for a large number of its users. When modeling a distributed systems, stochastic behavior of Petri nets is important, which will provide more realistic simulations. Therefore, this thesis focuses mainly on timed Petri nets. The theoretical part of this thesis summarizes distributed systems, their properties, types and available architectures, as well as Petri nets, their representation, types and the principle of an operation. In the practical part, two models were implemented, namely a horizontally scaled web application divided into several services with a distributed database and a large grid computing system, more precisely the BOINC platform with the Folding@home project. Both models were implemented using the PetNetSim library of Python. The goal of this thesis is to perform simulations on the created models for different scenarios of their behavior.

Abstract:
Within recent years, interest in the installation of solar-based, wind-based, and various other renewable Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and Energy Storage (ES) systems has risen; in part due to rising energy costs, demand for cleaner power generation, increased power quality demands, and the need for additional protection against brownouts and blackouts. A viable solution for these requirements consists of installation of small-scale DER and ES systems at the single-phase (1Φ) distribution level to provide ancillary services such as peak load shaving, Static-VAr Compensation (STATCOM), ES, and Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) capabilities through the creation of microgrid systems. To interconnect DER and ES systems, power electronic converters are needed with not only control systems that operate in multiple modes of operation, but with islanding detection and resynchronization capabilities for isolation from and reclosure to the grid. The proposed system includes control architecture capable of operating in multiple modes, and with the ability to smoothly transfer between modes. Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs), islanding detection schemes, and resynchronization protocols are developed to support the control functionality proposed. Stationary frame PLL developments proposed in this work improve upon existing methods by eliminating steady-state noise/ripple without using Low-Pass Filters (LPFs), increasing frequency/phase tracking speeds for a wide range of disturbances, and retaining robustness for weakly interconnected systems. An islanding detection scheme for the stationary frame control is achieved through the stability of the PLL system interaction with the converter control. The proposed detection method relies upon the conditional stability of the PLL controller which is sensitive to grid-disconnections. This method is advantageous over other methods of active islanding detection mainly due to the need for those methods to perturb the output to test for islanding conditions. The PLL stability method does not inject signal perturbations into the output of the converter, but instead is designed to be stable while grid-connected, but inherently unstable for grid-disconnections. Resynchronization and reclosure to the grid is an important control aspect for microgrid systems that have the ability to operate in stand-alone, backup modes while disconnected from the grid. The resynchronization method proposed utilizes a dual PLL tracking system which minimizes voltage transients during the resynchronization process; while a logic-based reclosure algorithm ensures minimal magnitude, frequency, and phase mismatches between the grid and an isolated microgrid system to prevent inrush currents between the grid and stand-alone microgrid system.

Abstract:
During the 21st century there has been a rapid increase in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) capacity globally, due to falling system component prices and introduction of various economic incentives. To a large extent, PV systems are installed on buildings, which means they are widely distributed and located close to the power consumer, in contrast to conventional power plants. The intermittency of solar irradiance poses challenges to the integration of PV, which may be mitigated if properly assessing the solar resource. In this thesis, methods have been developed for solar variability and resource assessment in the built environment on both national and local level, and have been applied to grid integration studies. On national level, a method based on building statistics was developed that reproduces the hourly PV power generation in Sweden with high accuracy; correlation between simulated and real power generation for 2012 and 2013 were 0.97 and 0.99, respectively. The model was applied in scenarios of high penetration of intermittent renewable energy (IRE) in the Nordic synchronous power system, in combination with similar models for wind, wave and tidal power. A mix of the IRE resources was sought to minimise the variability in net load (i.e., load minus IRE, nuclear and thermal power). The study showed that a fully renewable Nordic power system is possible if hydropower operation is properly planned for. However, the contribution from PV power would only be 2-3% of the total power demand, due to strong diurnal and seasonal variability. On local level, a model-driven solar resource assessment method was developed based on low-resolution LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data. It was shown to improve the representation of buildings, i.e., roof shape, tilt and azimuth, over raster-based methods, i.e., digital surface models (DSM), which use the same LiDAR data. Furthermore, the new method can provide time-resolved data in contrast to traditional solar maps, and can thus be used as a powerful tool when studying the integration of high penetrations of PV in the distribution grid. In conclusion, the developed methods fill important gaps in our ability to plan for a fully renewable power system.

Abstract:
Distributed infrastructures (e.g., water networks and electric Grids) are difficult to manage due to their scale, lack of accessibility, complexity, ageing and uncertainties in knowledge of their structure. In addition they are subject to loads that can be highly variable and unpredictable and to accidental events such as component failure, leakage and malicious tampering. To support in-field operations and central management of these infrastructures, the availability of consistent and up-to-date knowledge about the current state of the network and how it would respond to planned interventions is argued to be highly desirable. However, at present, large-scale infrastructures are “data rich but knowledge poor”. Data, algorithms and tools for network analysis are improving but there is a need to integrate them to support more directly engineering operations. Current ICT solutions are mainly based on specialized, monolithic and heavyweight software packages that restrict the dissemination of dynamic information and its appropriate and timely presentation particularly to field engineers who operate in a resource constrained and less reliable environments. This thesis proposes a solution to these problems by recognizing that current monolithic ICT solutions for infrastructure management seek to meet the requirements of different human roles and operating environments (defined in this work as field and central sides). It proposes an architectural approach to providing dynamic, predictive, user-centric, device and platform independent access to consistent and up-to-date knowledge. This architecture integrates the components required to implement the functionalities of data gathering, data storage, simulation modelling, and information visualization and analysis. These components are tightly coupled in current implementations of software for analysing the behaviour of networks. The architectural approach, by contrast, requires they be kept as separate as possible and interact only when required using common and standard protocols. The thesis particularly concentrates on engineering practices in clean water distribution networks but the methods are applicable to other structural networks, for example, the electricity Grid. A prototype implementation is provided that establishes a dynamic hydraulic simulation model and enables the model to be queried via remote access in a device and platform independent manner.This thesis provides an extensive evaluation comparing the architecture driven approach with current approaches, to substantiate the above claims. This evaluation is conducted by the use of benchmarks that are currently published and accepted in the water engineering community. To facilitate this evaluation, a working prototype of the whole architecture has been developed and is made available under an open source licence.

Abstract:
Patient’s mobility throughout his lifetime leaves a trial of information scattered in laboratories, clinical institutes, primary care units, and other hospitals. Hence, the medical history of a patient is valuable when subjected to special healthcare units or undergoes home-care/personal-care in elderly stage cases. Despite the rhetoric about patient-centred care, few attempts were made to measure and improve in this arena. In this thesis, we will describe and implement a high-level view of a Patient Centric information management, deploying at a preliminary stage, the use of Agent Technologies and Grid Computing. Thus, developing and proposing an infrastructure that allows us to monitor and survey the patient, from the doctor’s point of view, and investigate a Persona, from the patients’ side, that functions and collaborates among different medical information structures. The Persona will attempt to interconnect all the major agents (human and software), and realize a distributed grid info-structure that directly affect the patient, therefore, revealing an adequate and cost-effective solution for most critical information needs. The results comprehended in the literature survey, consolidating Healthcare Information Management with emerged intelligent Multi-Agent System Technologies (MAS) and Grid Computing; intends to provide a solid basis for further advancements and assessments in this field, by bridging and proposing a framework between the home-care sector and the flexible agent architecture throughout the healthcare domain.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the generation control in small isolated power systems consisting of inverter interfaced generation systems. First the components of an individual distributed generation system (DGS) as well as the corresponding control schemes for active and reactive power flow are discussed and implemented. Then the contribution of multiple DGS to meet the requirement of the loads in both gridconnected and island operations are discussed. Having evaluated the performance of each developed model such as voltage source inverter, PQ and PV controlled as well as reference DGS, the impact of voltage degradation on power load control in isolated systems is analyzed. Finally a new method for generation control in a small power system based on power sharing between multiple DGS with voltage degradation consideration as the last alternative for sustaining the system is proposed and implemented.-11D

Abstract:
The electricity generation composition in the South African national grid has changed in recent years from mostly thermal generation to a combination of thermal generation plants and a variety of plants owned and operated by Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers (REIPPs). The need arises to determine whether the existing planning and design guidelines of distribution networks in South Africa are sufficient in terms of equipment specifications and general sizing and rating principles, used during the network planning process, under increasing penetration levels of embedded generation. The correlation between increases in embedded generation penetration levels and voltage variation, unbalance and harmonic emissions are determined by simulating various operating scenarios of varying load and short circuit level for penetration levels of 10%, 25% and 40%. The existing distribution grid planning standard NRS 097 allows for a 25% penetration level where several consumers share one feeder or distribution transformer. Some of the limits contained in the South African power quality standards NRS 048 and the distribution grid planning guidelines NRS 097 are exceeded when penetration levels of grid connected Photovoltaic (PV) generation exceeds certain levels. - Switching embedded generation in or out of service does not cause voltage variations that exceed the planning limit of 3% at the shared feeder. - Voltage unbalance due to embedded generation connected to the same phase does not cause the compatibility limit of 3% to be exceeded. - Current unbalance should be monitored as it is very likely that equipment ratings may be exceeded when the integration of embedded generation is not coordinated. - Voltage harmonic limits of the odd harmonic which are multiples of 3 are exceeded. - Current harmonic planning limits of several harmonics are exceeded for penetration levels of 25%. The criteria and limits contained in the standards and guidelines relating to current unbalance and harmonic currents should be reviewed to ensure that future grids with high penetration levels of embedded generation can withstand the inherent power quality challenges without having an adverse effect on distribution equipment. Distribution transformers can age faster when they are subjected to harmonic currents and voltages exceeding their design parameters [12]. The distribution transformer isolates the Medium Voltage (MV) distribution grid from the 400 V residential grid. The voltage harmonics and voltage unbalance on the Low Voltage (LV) grid therefore do not permeate to the MV grid. Proposed future work includes translating the qualitative suggestions made in this dissertation into quantitative terms that can be included in revisions of the distribution equipment standards and grid planning guidelines.

Abstract:
To combat global climate change, the reduction of carbon emissions in different industries, particularly the power industry, has been gradually moving towards a low-carbon profile to alleviate any irreversible damage to the planet and our future generations. Traditional fossil-fuel-based generation is slowly replaced by more renewable energy generation while it can be harnessed. However, renewables such as solar and wind are stochastic in nature and difficult to predict accurately. With the increasing content of renewables, there is also an increasing challenge to the planning and operation of the grid. With the rapid deployment of smart meters and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), an emerging approach is to schedule controllable end-use devices to improve energy efficiency. Real-time pricing signals combined with this approach can potentially deliver more economic and environmental advantages compared with the existing common flat tariffs. Motivated by this, the thesis presents an automatic and optimal load scheduling framework to help balance intermittent renewables via the demand side. A bi-level consumer-utility optimization model is proposed to take marginal price signals and wind power into account. The impact of wind uncertainty is formulated in three different ways, namely deterministic value, scenario analysis, and cumulative distributions function, to provide a comprehensive modeling of unpredictable wind energy. To solve the problem in off-the-shelf optimization software, the proposed non-linear bi-level model is converted into an equivalent single-level mixed integer linear programming problem using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions and linearization techniques. Numerical examples show that the proposed model is able to achieve the dual goals of minimizing the consumer payment as well as improving system conditions. The ultimate goal of this work is to provide a tool for utilities to consider the demand response model into their market-clearing procedure. As high penetration of distributed renewable energy resources are most likely applied to remote or stand-alone systems, planning such systems with uncertainties in both generation and demand sides is needed. As such, a three-level probabilistic sizing methodology is developed to obtain a practical sizing result for a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system. The first-level consists of three modules: 1) load demand, 2) renewable resources, and 3) system components, which comprise the fundamental elements of sizing the system. The second-level consists of various models, such as a Markov chain solar radiation model and a stochastic load simulator. The third-level combines reliability indices with an annualized cost of system to form a new objective function, which can simultaneously consider both system cost and reliability based on a chronological Monte Carlo simulation and particle swamp optimization approach. The simulation results are then tested and verified in a smart grid laboratory at the University of Hong Kong to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed model. In summary, this thesis has developed a comprehensive framework of demand response on variable end-use consumptions with stochastic generation from renewables while optimizing both reliability and cost. Smart grid technologies, such as renewables, microgrid, storage, load signature, and demand response, have been extensively studied and interactively modeled to provide more intelligent planning and management for the smart grid.

This thesis provides a tool to determine the maximum capacity, of a given power grid, when connecting distributed photovoltaic parks including the optimal allocation of the parks taking the power grid configuration into account. This tool is based on a computational model that evaluates the hosting capacity of the given grid through power flow simulations. The tool also integrates a geographic information system that links suitable land areas to nearby substations that can host photovoltaic parks. The mathematical model was tested on different cases in the municipality of Herrljunga, Sweden, where it was determined to be possible to connect 47 photovoltaic parks of 1MWp to the power grid as well as the most appropriate substations to allocate them to without the need for grid reinforcements. Additionally, the concept of grid cost allocation is presented and briefly discussed while analysing the results in relation to national energy targets.

Abstract:
A necessidade de poder computacional é crescente nas mais diversas áreas de atuação humana, tanto na indústria como no ambiente acadêmico. A Computação em Grade permite a interligação de recursos computacionais dispersos de maneira a permitir sua utilização mais efetiva, provendo aos usuários acesso simplificado ao poder computacional de diversas máquinas. Entretanto, os primeiros projetos de Computação em Grade objetivavam a interligação de máquinas paralelas ou aglomerados de alto desempenho e alto custo, acessível apenas a poucas instituições. Em contraponto ao alto custo das máquinas paralelas, os computadores pessoais se difundiram de maneira extraordinária nos últimos quinze anos. A expansão da base instalada foi acompanhada de uma crescente evolução na capacidade de tais máquinas. Os aglomerados dedicados de computadores pessoais representam a primeira tentativa de utilização de tais recursos para computação paralela e, apesar de serem amplamente utilizados, ainda requerem um investimento significativo. Entretanto, as mesmas instituições que adquirem tais aglomerados dedicados normalmente possuem centenas ou até milhares de computadores pessoais, os quais têm sua capacidade utilizada apenas parcialmente, resultando em grande ociosidade dos recursos. Os sistemas de Computação em Grade Oportunistas fornecem a possibilidade de se utilizar a base instalada de computadores pessoais de maneira a realizar computação utilizando a parte dos recursos que, de outra forma, estariam ociosos. Diversos sistemas dessa categoria foram desenvolvidos e utilizados com êxito para realizar tarefas de computação em diversas áreas como astronomia, biologia e matemática. O InteGrade, sistema de Computação em Grade Oportunista aqui apresentado, pretende oferecer características inovadoras para sistemas oportunistas, como suporte a aplicações paralelas que demandam comunicação entre nós e a utilização de coleta e análise de padrões de uso das máquinas da Grade, de maneira a permitir que se realize previsões sobre a disponibilidade das máquinas, permitindo uma utilização mais eficiente das mesmas. Além disso, o InteGrade emprega amplamente o paradigma de Orientação a Objetos, tanto na definição da arquitetura do sistema quanto na sua implementação. O trabalho aqui apresentado consistiu no estudo de outros projetos de Computação em Grade, na definição de uma arquitetura inicial para o InteGrade, passando pela descrição de seus principais módulos assim como sua implementação. Além disso, também descrevemos o projeto e a implementação de uma biblioteca para programação paralela no InteGrade utilizando o modelo BSP.
The past years witnessed a substantial increase in the need for computing power in various fields of human activity, including many industrial and academic endeavors. Grid Computing addresses those needs, providing seamless access to distributed computing resources, allowing one to use the combined computing power of various machines. However, the majority of the earlier Grid Computing systems focused on connecting high performance computers, which are very expensive resources only accessible to a small number of institutions. Contrasting with high cost parallel computing, personal computing experienced a tremendous growth in the last fifteen years. Personal computers are ubiquitous, cheap, and extremely powerful. The increase in processing power motivated the creation of dedicated PC clusters, allowing one to perform high performance computing tasks at a fraction of the price of a traditional parallel machine. Although cheaper, building a cluster still requires a considerable investment. At the same time, institutions that rely on the processing power of dedicated clusters typically own a large number of personal computers that are idle for most of the time, resulting in a loss of computing power that could otherwise be used for computing tasks. Opportunistic Grid Computing systems allow the use of the idle computing power of personal computers to perform useful computation. Many Opportunistic systems were successfully employed to solve problems in areas such as astronomy, biology, and mathematics. InteGrade, an Opportunistic Grid Computing system developed in the context of this thesis, aims to provide features not commonly available in other Opportunistic systems, such as support for parallel applications that require communication among application nodes, and usage pattern collection and analysis, which will allow for better scheduling decisions by providing predictions about future resource availability. InteGrade is a fully object oriented system, featuring both object oriented architecture and implementation. The work presented in this thesis includes a survey of existing Grid Computing systems and the definition of the InteGrade initial architecture, including the specification and implementation of various software modules. We also present the design and implementation of a parallel programming library that implements the BSP computing model, which allows one to write parallel applications that execute on InteGrade.

Understanding river water quantity and quality variation is one of the fundamental requirements for the integrated watershed management. Monitoring is usually preferred to examine and understand the river water quantity and quality, especially focusing on pre-specified objectives. Although monitoring is invaluable in many instances, it is of less use to forecast the foreseeable changes, especially, for the long-term prediction that is usually required by the decision-makers. Therefore, for the decision-making, modeling is widely practiced. Due to the limited understanding of hydrological processes inside a watershed, models often fail to estimate properly, which in worst case could often mislead the targeted plans. Among several aspects, spatial variability such as land cover, topography, soil, geology is believed to affect the overall performance of the model. Such thought lead to the concept of distributed models that were supposed to represent spatial variability through modeling specific variations inside the watershed by using several representative units or grids. In that meaning, distributed models required to identify and assign the values of its parameters to represent the physical processes defined by the governing equations for each grid. Due to the unavailability of required spatial information at appropriate grid sizes, even physically based and conceptually sound distributed models fail to estimate properly thereby offsetting the credibility of distributed models. Therefore, in this study, we set a major objective to develop a new distributed water quantity and water quality model to address some of the stated issues. Major emphasis was given to conceptually sound but simple structure of the model. In addition to that, model aimed to utilize the potential of recent advances in spatial information, such as remote sensing and GIS, to generate and process the spatial data, and to determine the values of its essential parameters. The approach was expected to provide an example that the complexity of the model should be preferred only if the defined processes could be ascertained within some reasonable limit. At the initial stage, several spatial data were collected from different sources and they were processed into raster format, which was one of the essential requirements for the distributed model. Analysis of spatial database indicated that the watershed was characterized by forested parts in the hills, and densely populated urban areas in plains. Rainfall occurred quite frequently but they were of short duration. Besides constructing spatial database, several water quantity and quality surveys were also conducted at different spatial and temporal conditions from 2000 to 2006. The data were mainly used to understand variation patterns of water quantity and quality at both spatial and temporal conditions. Later on, some of the data were also used for the verification of model in study area. 28 water quality indices (WQIs) were observed for each observation, which were mainly utilized to understand the overall variation pattern of river water quality. Initial analysis of flow rate condition of the river showed that the rainfall-runoff responses were quite rapid after the rainfall but such effect appear for very short duration (< 2 days). Then, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and two multivariate analysis techniques (MVA), namely, principle component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) were used to explore effectively the river water quality datasets. Analysis showed that the observed covariation among majority of WQIs could be due to the inter-linkages among rainfall pattern, atmospheric deposition of acidic ions, soil and geology of dominant forest areas, topography, and climatic conditions. The identified pattern indicated that there could be close relationship between the biogeochemical processes in the forest areas with both river water quantity and quality variation. A new distributed water quantity and quality model was developed especially focusing on the biophysical characteristics of the watershed. Basic structure of the model was similar to the concept of lumped tank model, which was often credited for its simple and sound conceptual structure. Two storey tanks were conceptualized for each grid, but model also took into consideration of drainage channels in urban areas and natural river channels as rapidly conveying structures. Besides, the model considered all major aspects affecting the estimation of water quantity, such as interception of the rainfall, evapotranspiration loss, surface runoff, sub-surface runoff, and ground water runoff. Compared with the original tank model, major emphasis was given to assign the values major parameters, such as coefficients and storage heights of the outlets, by relating them with the hilly topography of the study area and the variation in land cover, soil, and geology. The model was further integrated with water quality component, which was based on two fundamental assumptions of build-up and wash-off of the WQIs in the environment. Build-up was based on the land cover type and population, while wash off was based on the estimated runoff volume. Remote sensing and GIS techniques were used to assist in the modeling process. At first, remote sensing was mainly focused in the classification of land cover by utilizing seasonal Landsat ETM+ images. In addition to urban and vegetated urban categories, four major forest categories (shaded, deciduous, mixed, and evergreen) were identified. Then leaf area index (Lai) was determined for each vegetation category. Lai was mainly used to determine the rainfall interception by the canopy in the forest areas. In this study, forest areas showed the capacity to intercept as high as 1.2 mm of rainfall, which could be quite important during smaller rainfall events. Remote sensing was further used to determine the transpiration coefficient of the vegetations, which was a major requirement for the estimation of evapotranspiration (Et) loss by the FAO Penman- Monteith method used in the model simulation. Et was estimated even reached more than 4 mm/d in summer months, but it was relatively lower (< 2 mm/d) in the winter months. These facts suggested that consideration of both interception and Et loss in a forested watershed could have significant influence on the estimation of flow rates by the model. At the final stage, model was applied in the study area. Mainly three approaches were considered to assess the estimation by the model. First was conventional approach in which comparison between the observed and estimated data were done considering different spatial and temporal contexts. Assigned values of the parameters gave satisfactory prediction for both water quantity and quality for the selected grid size of 50 m in which the relative error was usually less than 1. The second approach evaluated the model by considering different scale of the grids ranging from 100m to 500m. It was observed that grid resizing usually affected the basin attributed such as slope, outlet height, drainage characteristics following nearly proportionate pattern than other categorical variables such as land cover or geology. Usually same parameter values gave very different prediction level for both magnitude and shape of the hydrographs (or pollutographs), in which increasing grid size was accompanied by the increasing peak event estimation or overall error. The effects were further assessed by changing the values of key parameters for each grid size targeting the minimum differences between the observed and estimated values. Interestingly, the parameters also showed some identifiable (increasing or decreasing) trend with the change in grid size. Particularly, due to the direct effect of predicted runoff on the reference WQIs, its showed more complex variation pattern at different grid sizes. Overall assessment of the distributed model indicated that the model was quite sensitive to the selection of key parameters for different grid sizes. It indicated that the values of calibrated parameters might not give stable result if the scale of input data were changed. It could further indicate that the choice of grid size should be assessed before the actual application of the model considering the spatial variability of the watershed. In the third approach, model was utilized to estimate at different scenarios, namely, rainfall variation and land cover changes. The differences in the estimated results could indicate that the model could be available for the watershed management at different runoff and land cover scenarios in future.

Abstract:
Cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude d’agents appelés prosumers parce qu’ils peuvent, à partir d’énergies renouvelables, à la fois produire et consommer de l’électricité. Si leurs productions excèdent leurs propres besoins, ceux-ci cherchent à vendre leur surplus sur des marchés de l’électricité. Nous proposons de modéliser ces prosumers à partir de données météorologiques, ce qui nous a permit de mettre en évidence des corrélations spatio-temporelles non triviales, d'une grande importance pour les agrégateurs qui forment des portefeuilles d’équipements afin de vendre des services à l'opérateur du réseau. Comme un agrégateur est lié par un contrat avec l'opérateur, il peut faire l'objet de sanctions s’il ne remplit pas son rôle. Nous montrons que ces corrélations impactent la stabilité des agrégats, et donc le risque encouru par les agrégateurs. Nous proposons un algorithme minimisant le risque d'un ensemble d’agrégations, tout en maximisant le gain attendu. La mise en place de dispositifs de stockage dans un réseau où les générateurs et les charges sont dynamiques et stochastiques est complexe. Nous proposons de répondre à cette question grâce à la théorie du contrôle. Nous modélisons le système électrique par un réseau d'oscillateurs couplés, dont la dynamique des angles de phase est une approximation de la dynamique réelle du système. Le but est de trouver le sous-ensemble des nœuds du graphe qui, lors d'une perturbation du système, permet le retour à l'équilibre si les bons signaux sont injectés, et ceci avec une énergie minimum. Nous proposons un algorithme pour trouver un placement proche de l'optimum permettant de minimiser l'énergie moyenne de contrôle
This thesis is devoted to the study of agents called prosumers because they can, from renewable, both produce and consume electricity. If their production exceeds their own needs, they are looking to sell their surplus on electricity markets. We propose to model these prosumers from meteorological data, which has allowed us to highlight non trivial spatial and temporal correlations. This is of great importance for aggregators that form portfolios of equipments to sell services to the network operator. As an aggregator is bound by a contract with the operator, it can be subject to penalties if it does not fulfill its role. We show that these correlations impact the stability of aggregates, and therefore the risk taken by the aggregators. We propose an algorithm minimizing the risk of the aggregations, while maximizing the expected gain. The placement of storage devices in a network where generators and loads are stochastic and not fixed is complex. We propose to answer this question with control theory. We model the electrical system as a network of coupled oscillators, whose phase angles dynamics is an approximation of the actual dynamics of the system. The goal is to find the subset of nodes in the graph that, during a disturbance of the system, allows returning to equilibrium if the right signals are injected and this with a minimum energy. We propose an algorithm to find a near optimal placement to minimize the average energy control

Abstract:
Autonomic Computing (AC) aims at solving the problem of managing the rapidly-growing complexity of Information Technology systems, by creating self-managing systems. In this thesis, we have surveyed the progress of the AC field, and studied the requirements, models and architectures of AC. The commonly recognized AC requirements are four properties - self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing, and self-protecting. The recommended software architecture is the MAPE-K model containing four modules, namely - monitor, analyze, plan and execute, as well as the knowledge repository. In the modern software marketplace, Java Management Extensions (JMX) has facilitated one function of the AC requirements - monitoring. Using JMX, we implemented a package that attempts to assist programming for AC features including socket management, logging, and recovery of distributed computation. In the experiments, we have not only realized the powerful Java capabilities that are unknown to many educators, we also illustrated the feasibility of learning AC in senior computer science courses.

Abstract:
The future power grid will effectively utilize renewable energy resources and distributed generation to respond to energy demand while incorporating information technology and communication infrastructure for their optimum operation. This dissertation contributes to the development of real-time techniques, for wide-area monitoring and secure real-time control and operation of hybrid power systems. To handle the increased level of real-time data exchange, this dissertation develops a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system that is equipped with a state estimation scheme from the real-time data. This system is verified on a specially developed laboratory-based test bed facility, as a hardware and software platform, to emulate the actual scenarios of a real hybrid power system with the highest level of similarities and capabilities to practical utility systems. It includes phasor measurements at hundreds of measurement points on the system. These measurements were obtained from especially developed laboratory based Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) that is utilized in addition to existing commercially based PMU’s. The developed PMU was used in conjunction with the interconnected system along with the commercial PMU’s. The tested studies included a new technique for detecting the partially islanded micro grids in addition to several real-time techniques for synchronization and parameter identifications of hybrid systems. Moreover, due to numerous integration of renewable energy resources through DC microgrids, this dissertation performs several practical cases for improvement of interoperability of such systems. Moreover, increased number of small and dispersed generating stations and their need to connect fast and properly into the AC grids, urged this work to explore the challenges that arise in synchronization of generators to the grid and through introduction of a Dynamic Brake system to improve the process of connecting distributed generators to the power grid. Real time operation and control requires data communication security. A research effort in this dissertation was developed based on Trusted Sensing Base (TSB) process for data communication security. The innovative TSB approach improves the security aspect of the power grid as a cyber-physical system. It is based on available GPS synchronization technology and provides protection against confidentiality attacks in critical power system infrastructures.

Abstract:
The performance of different current controller structures for Voltage Source Converters (VSC) under weak grid conditions caused by large grid impedance is investigated. The VSC is synchronized to the grid by a Phase Locked Loop (PLL). Current control techniques and PLL techniques for handling both symmetrical and asymmetrical conditions are presented and discussed. The investigated current control structures are; the conventional Proportional Integral (PI)-controller in the synchronous rotating reference frame, dual PI-controllers implemented in positive- and negative-sequence rotating reference frame, the Proportional Resonant (PR)-controller in the stationary reference frame, the phase current hysteresis controller, and a space vector base hysteresis controller in the synchronous rotating reference frame. The PLL-techniques used for synchronization are; a conventional synchronous rotating reference frame PLL, a PLL with notch filter, and a Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference frame PLL (DDSRF-PLL).The different current control strategies and PLL-techniques are studied by simulations. The results show how large grid impedance can influence the dynamic response of the system and how the interaction between the PLLs, the current controllers and the large grid inductance can even trigger instability when the voltage measurements are highly influenced by the operation of the converter. The PI-controllers in the synchronous rotating reference frames are particularly sensitive to oscillations that can be reinforced when the measured voltage feed-forward terms are used in the control system. The response of the PR-controller is instead slowed down by the interaction with the PLL, while both the hysteresis controllers are quickly tracking the reference value as long as the interaction with the PLL is not leading to instability.Operation under asymmetrical weak grid conditions are investigated for current controllers that exploit PLL techniques designed to remove the oscillations that occur in the positive sequence reference frame voltage during unbalanced grid voltage. The simulations show that the DDSRF-PLL has a shorter transient period than the PLL with notch filter, but with a small steady state 100 Hz oscillation under the weak asymmetrical grid conditions.The results indicate that the tuning of the PLL is of large importance for the stability of the control system, and that a slower PLL can lead to less interaction with the current controllers at the cost of a slower and less accurate dynamic overall control performance.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: As the number of distributed generation units connected to a distribution network increase, the possibility of island formation increases. An island is formed when distributed generation units continue to energize local loads within a section of the grid, which has been disconnected from the main distribution network. These islands pose significant danger to maintenance personnel as well as to members of the public. In this study, an investigation is done into various anti-islanding methods. The modes of operation of these methods are discussed, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. The slip-mode frequency shift method and the Sandia voltage shift method, in combination with over/under voltage and frequency protection, are simulated and tested to confirm their functionality. The results obtained show that it is possible to prevent distributed generation units from energizing local loads when the grid is disconnected.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die moontlike toekomstige toename in die aantal verspreide generasie eenhede gekoppel aan die verspreidings netwerk, verhoog die moontlikheid van eiland vorming. ‘n Eiland word gevorm wanneer verspreide generasie eenhede energie aan lokale laste voorsien nadat die netwerk ontkoppel is. Dit hou groot gevaar in vir onderhouds personeel asook vir die publiek. In die tesis word ‘n studie gedoen oor die verskillende metodes om die vorming van ongewensde eilande te voorkom. Die glipmode-frekwensieskuif metode en die Sandia spanningskuif metode word gekombineer met die oor/onder spanning en frekwensie beskerming metodes. Die kombinasie van metodes word dan gesimuleer en eksperimenteel getoets. Die verkrygde resultate toon dat dit moontlik is om die vorming van ongewensde eilande effektief te voorkom.

Abstract:
Grades Computacionais (grid computing) já é uma realidade tanto no meio acadêmico quanto no meio empresarial. Seu uso se tornou popular principalmente devido à divulgação dos trabalhos nesta área e pela propaganda de produtos e softwares que oferecem essa idéia. Apesar disso, ambientes para o desenvolvimento de aplicações orientadas a objetos em Java para uma infra-estrutura de grid ainda é escasso. Algumas iniciativas oferecem bibliotecas para este desenvolvimento. Outras utilizam paradigmas diferentes, como o de passagem de mensagem, para o desenvolvimento de aplicações. Além disso, a própria infra-estrutura de grid, formada por diferentes domínios administrativos com diferentes políticas de segurança e uso, impede que as aplicações sejam executadas nos diversos níveis existentes no grid. Estes níveis, formados por computadores e clusters de computadores com nós de execução, possuem endereçamento privado, impossibilitando que as aplicações alocadas em cada um desses computadores/nós, em diferentes domínios e diferentes endereços, se comuniquem de forma transparente. Visando uma solução para esses problemas, esta tese apresenta um ambiente para programação orientada a objetos distribuídos e paralelos, em Java, denominado J4GE. Nesse ambiente, o modelo orientado a objetos é base para a distribuição das classes, métodos e atributos existente em uma aplicação. Além disso, o ambiente oferece transparência no acesso aos objetos espalhados pelo grid através de um Serviço de Mensagem, independente do nível onde o recurso, computador ou nó, se encontra. Essa transparência permite também que o programador utilize a plataforma Java sem a necessidade de aprender ou conhecer novas bibliotecas ou paradigmas, diminuindo o esforço no desenvolvimento de aplicações para grid. E, juntamente com os recursos da plataforma Java e do ambiente J4GE, é possível criar objetos distribuídos com comportamento paralelo e concorrente, trazendo maior eficiência para a execução da aplicação.
Grid computing is already a reality both in academic and business world. Its use has become popular mainly because of the projects in this area and the advertising of products and software that offer this idea. Nevertheless, environments for development of object-oriented applications in Java for grid infrastructure are still scarce. Some initiatives offer libraries for this development. Others use different paradigms such as the message-passing for development of applications. Moreover, the infrastructure of grid, formed by different administrative domain with different security policies, prevents the execution of applications at various levels in the grid. These levels, formed by computers and clusters of computers with execution nodes, have private addresses, make impossible the transparent communication of the applications allocated in each of these computers at different levels in different domains. Focused on these problems, this thesis presents an environment for distributed and parallel object-oriented programming in Java, called J4GE. In this environment, the object-oriented model is the basis for the distribution of classes, methods and attributes in an existing application. Moreover, the environment offers transparency in objects access around the grid through a Message Service, regardless the level where is the resource, or the computer, or the execution node. This transparency also allows the programmer to use the Java platform without knowing or learning new libraries or paradigms, reducing the effort in developing applications for grid. The resources of the Java platform and the environment J4GE together can create distributed objects with parallel and concurrent behavior, bringing greater efficiency to the application.

Memoria para optar al título de Ingeniero Civil en Computación
En la actualidad existen muchos computadores y dispositivos tecnológicos con capacidad computacional ociosa, con el potencial de ser usados. Es así como existen una gran cantidad de proyectos donde personas donan voluntariamente su poder computacional para ayudar en problemas tales como: renderización de animaciones 3D, correr simulaciones de experimentos, estudiar conjeturas matemáticas, optimización de variables y parámetros en Machine Learning, estudiar estructuras de proteínas y moléculas, clasificación de galaxias, predicción del clima, entre un sinfín de aplicaciones posibles tanto en el área de investigación como en el área empresarial. Esa necesidad de poder de procesamiento y recursos computacionales ha llevado a crear tecnologías como la computación grid (o en malla), que consiste en un sistema de computación distribuido que permite coordinar computadoras de diferente hardware y software haciendo uso de estos para resolver en paralelo tareas en común. La presente memoria tiene como fin la creación de un sistema distribuido en malla donde dispositivos tecnológicos se comunican con un servidor central para recopilar datos de internet; usando así la capacidad ociosa de dispositivos tecnológicos y brindando ayuda voluntaria a aquel que necesite recopilar datos de internet. Durante el desarrollo de este trabajo se implementa un sistema de administración de usuarios y dispositivos tecnológicos realizado con Django, un sistema de distribución de consultas HTTP/S desarrollado con Tornado y un software que corre de lado de los dispositivos tecnológicos para resolver tareas y mandar resultados, hecho en Python. Estos tres sistemas se comunican entre ellos para lograr la distribución de las consultas HTTP/S, pero son independientes entre sí, ayudando a la escalabilidad y tolerancia a fallos del sistema general. Finalmente se realizan pruebas y experimentos de los diferentes componentes para obtener datos relevantes que nos permitan estudiar el comportamiento del sistema, identificando ventajas y desventajas del uso del mismo. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que a medida que aumenta la cantidad de dispositivos tecnológicos que colaboran en una tarea, disminuyen los tiempos de resolución de éstas; además se demuestra una correlación directa entre el tiempo de respuesta de una consulta HTTP/S y la distancia física que existe entre el dispositivo que hace la consulta y el servidor web.
