Real-time monitoring and control of distribution networks was traditionally deemed unnecessary because it had radial configuration, unidirectional power flows, and predictable load patterns. However, the fast growth of behind-the-meter generation, particularly solar photovoltaic, electric vehicles, and storage, is transitioning the distribution system...

Energy usage in the industrial sector has been increasing since 2007 and has been the largest energy consuming sector in the US (e.g., at nearly 33 quadrillion Btus in 2018). Industrial facilities are not only the largest end-use consumer of energy, but account for one-third of the total peak power demand in the US. This creates several challenges...
