Decentralized sequential hypothesis testing refers to a generalization of Wald's sequential hypothesis testing setup in which multiple decision makers make ...

Pressure on ancillary reserves in power systems has significantly mounted due to the recent generalized increase of the fraction of (highly fluctuating) wi...

Currently, power system operations planning practices are undergoing various transformations in an attempt to integrate efficiently significant amounts of su...

It is well known that the mixed linear complementarity problem can be used to model the equilibrium in energy markets as well as a host of other engineering ...

The first part of this two-part paper developed the framework for characterizing the feasibility regions of power systems in the demand space. This character...

This two-part paper presents a framework for the characterization and minimal representation of the feasibility regions of power systems in the demand space....

A new algorithm for the optimal stope design problem is proposed. It is based on a previous methodology developed by Bai et al. (2013a) where a cylindrical ...

This paper provides an overview of the role, past, present and future, of demand-side management and demand-side response in electric grids. We address the f...

In this paper we investigate the options of a network operator faced with the requirement of reducing its carbon footprint, expressed in terms of a global en...

This paper proposes an incentive mechansim for transmission expansion planning. The mechansim is a bilevel program. The upper level is a profit-maximizing tr...

In this paper we show how to robustify the computation of equilibria in two integrated assessment models for climate change. Both models deal with the optima...

In this paper, we present a stochastic two-level optimization model whose upper-level problem depicts a wastewater treatment plant deciding on the size of co...

The expansion of the Panama Canal will be completed by 2015. The route via the Panama Canal will shorten voyages from North America to Japan by more than 7,5...

In this paper we present a new rolling horizon approach for solving stochastic mixed complementarity problems (MCPs). Such a scheme allows for decision-depen...

Traditionally, the planning of operating reserve has been done in terms of capacity and linear (average) ramping requirements. On the other hand, the newly e...

An analytical approach and a control strategy are proposed in Part I of this two-part paper for leveraging the aggregate demand of a population of Thermostat...

There are few systematic methodologies capable of predicting and leveraging the reserve capacity potential of large populations of Thermostatically-Controlle...

Modern power systems are undergoing a transitional phase, increasingly incorporating variable generation (VG) to harness the economic and environmental benef...

Oil industry plays currently a major role in the Canadian economy. In the future, further developments of the oil sector will be affected by the ability to t...

In this paper, we propose a differential game model with a coupled constraint to represent the possible effects of climate agreements between industrialized,...
