Equilibrium modeling for power markets usually assumes convexity of each players' optimization problem. Although the importance of accounting for fixed gener...
BibTeX referenceJoint mixed-integer convex optimization of path, speed, and power in hybrid-electric ships
We present optimization models that simultaneously determine ship path, speed profile, and hybrid power system operations. Our approach integrates solar phot...

Accurate reconstruction of high-resolution hydrological forcing fields from sparse station observations remains challenging, particularly in poorly instrumen...
BibTeX referenceStochastic capacity accreditation: Incentivizing resource adequacy under weather uncertainty
High penetrations of variable renewable energy introduce significant resource adequacy challenges, particularly when weather-driven uncertainty affects renew...
BibTeX reference
Managing electric bus (EB) fleets at scale introduces operational challenges that differ fundamentally from those of conventional fuel-powered fleets. A main...

Hydropower generation fulfills 94% of Québec’s electricity needs, making efficient Short-Term Hydropower Scheduling (STHS) critical for daily operations. Thi...
BibTeX referenceDistributionally robust extended Kalman filtering for lithium-ion battery state-of-charge estimation
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the core energy storage component of electric vehicles (EVs). Real-time, accurate, and robust state-of-charge (SO...
BibTeX referenceAn improved approximation of metal accumulation in electric arc furnaces for ferrosilicon production
Accurate estimation of metal accumulation in electric arc furnaces (EAFs) is critical for maintaining stable ferrosilicon (FeSi) production and ensuring effe...
BibTeX reference
This multi-model analysis examines the prospects of hydrogen in the Canadian and German energy systems, and particularly of hydrogen exports from Canada to...
BibTeX referenceHierarchical constraint reduction for the penalized security-constrained optimal power flow
We consider the penalized security-constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) problem in a linearized form where thermal line limits are enforced as soft constr...
BibTeX reference
Wind power generation represents one of the main resources of modern renewable power systems. Its deployment is governed by numerous factors, e.g., weather p...
BibTeX reference
Predicting the state of the weather, from tracking hurricanes and thunderstorms to assessing daily temperatures, is of crucial importance. Over the past deca...
BibTeX referenceElectric vehicle fast-charging facility location with endogenous queuing in path selection
As fast-charging demand grows, ensuring the operational resilience of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure under congestion becomes a key challenge in large-...
BibTeX reference
In this work, we tackle the optimal energy trading~(OET) problem in distribution grids with a large number of prosumer households. We first introduce a clust...
