DESCRIPTION:Co-authors: Paolone\, Marione (EPFL)\, Reyes\, Lorenzo (EPFL)\
 , Bernstein\, Andrey (NREL)\, Wang\, Cong (EPFL)<br><br>Very large amounts
  of renewable electricity generation\, combined with a large penetration o
 f plug-in electric vehicles\, may cause considerable stress to electrical 
 grids and to the system of spinning reserves. This problem can be solved b
 y controlling the huge number of electrical resources that are located in 
 distribution grids\, such as thermal loads\, stationary batteries\, chargi
 ng stations and curtailable power generators. However\, this poses a numbe
 r of new challenges in terms of online computation and scalability. In thi
 s talk we discuss how these challenges are solved by COMMELEC\, a system o
 f real-time software agents developed at EPFL and deployed in several grid
 s. We also introduce elements of a theory about how uncertainty on power i
 njections affects the controllability of the grid.<br><br>Slides available
