Optimal energy storage control policies for the smart power grid

The objective is to devise an energy storage control policy that minimizes long-term average grid operational cost. The cost is a convex function of instantaneous power demand that is satisfied from the grid, and it reflects the fact that each additional unit of power needed to serve demands is more expensive as the demand load increases.
