This thesis focuses on designing a temperature control system using the AT89C51 single chip microcomputer, which is widely used in production, scientific research, and daily life. The DS18B20 temperature sensor collects and converts real-time temperature data and transmits it to the single-chip microcomputer, which displays the current temperature on an external LCD1602 liquid crystal display screen. The single-chip microcomputer uses the PID algorithm to calculate the system deviation between the given and actual temperatures and controls the relay to heat and cool, achieving precise temperature control. The design principle, hardware, and software flow of the control system are discussed, and multiple simulation experiments demonstrate the system's high precision and stability. The research has significant implications for the development of intelligent control systems and has practical applications.

Decentralized Integration of Distributed Energy Resources into Energy Markets with Physical Constraints

With the growing installation of distributed energy resources (DERs) at homes, more residential households are able to reduce the overall energy cost by storing unused energy in the storage battery when there is abundant renewable energy generation, and using the stored energy when there is insufficient renewable energy generation and high demand. It could be even more economical for the household if energy can be traded and shared among neighboring households. Despite the great economic benefit of DERs, they could also make it more challenging to ensure the stability of the grid due to the decentralization of agents' activities.

This thesis presents two approaches that combine market and control mechanisms to address these challenges. In the first work, we focus on the integration of DERs into local energy markets. We introduce a peer-to-peer (P2P) local energy market and propose a consensus multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) framework, which allows agents to develop strategies for trading and decentralized voltage control within the P2P market. It is compared to both the fully decentralized and centralized training & decentralized execution (CTDE) framework. Numerical results reveal that under each framework, the system is able to converge to a dynamic balance with the guarantee of system stability as each agent gradually learns the approximately optimal strategy. Theoretical results also prove the convergence of the consensus MARL algorithm under certain conditions.

In the second work, we introduce a mean-field game framework for the integration of DERs into wholesale energy markets. This framework helps DER owners automatically learn optimal decision policies in response to market price fluctuations and their own variable renewable energy outputs. We prove the existence of a mean-field equilibrium (MFE) for the wholesale energy market, and we develop a heuristic decentralized mean-field learning algorithm to converge to an MFE, taking into consideration the demand/supply shock and flexible demand. Our numerical experiments point to convergence to an MFE and show that our framework effectively reduces peak load and price fluctuations, especially during exogenous demand or supply shocks.

IN THE SHADOW OF PRISON: POWER, IDENTITY, AND TRANSTIONAL JUSITCE IN POST-GENOCIDE RWANDA

This dissertation is a political ethnography of transitional justice in post-genocide Rwanda. It examines power relations in Rwanda's transitional justice program - to date the most extensive criminal accountability system on genocide at the micro level - and how it allows the State to control and structure conceptions of criminality, justice and truth, thereby impacting prospects of reconciliation at the micro level. This study is the first to systematically investigate released prisoners of the Rwandan genocide and to analyze their narratives on violence in Rwanda and their experiences within the transitional justice system Based on four months of ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and discourse analysis, this dissertation challenges accepted views on the linear contributions of transitional justice to peacebuilding and post-conflict reconciliation and offers a unique examination of power asymmetry in post-conflict justice mechanisms. This study deconstructs the role of the justice system as a tool of political and social control and examines its impact on post-conflict social ordering in Rwanda. Indeed, this study recontextualizes transitional justice as a part of Rwandan power and identity politics and unpacks the official legal narrative on violence and justice in Rwanda and contrasts it with the memories of released prisoners of the genocide. The study finds that the incongruences between the official discourse and released prisoners' narrative frame the debates about which violent acts the RPF regime choses to criminalized and which ones it normalizes in its recasting of episodes of violence in Rwanda. Indeed, this dissertation finds that the Rwandan legal framework forces Rwandans who journey through the legal system to take on simplistic and unitary identities which highlight their assumed criminality but eschew their victimhood at the hand of the State and other identities that define them, which in turn affect their citizenship and potential for true reconciliation.
