AbstractThis NSF project aims to design and evaluate honeybee-inspired virtual electric peer-to-peer networks to enable efficient and resilient control of distributed energy resources. These resources include electric vehicles, heat pumps, electric water heaters, and battery energy storage systems at the distribution level. Existing electrical infrastructures are undersized to handle increasing loads, and a lack of effective coordination among these resources further exacerbates this challenge. Inspired
