Reforming energy consumption subsidies, in particular for fossil fuels, has been frequently referred to as a quick-win policy to enhance environmental miti...

This paper proposes a bilevel formulation for a coupled planning and operation problem of an advanced microgrid. The proposed model, recast as a mathematical...

In this paper, we design a REDD mechanism (Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and forests Degradation) to help a region in Madagascar manage its tropi...

With the emphasis on renewable energy integration, stochastic methods have begun to emerge as one of the most viable alternatives to traditional deterministi...

A class of hybrid systems with both autonomous and controlled switchings and jumps is considered where switching manifolds corresponding to autonomous switch...

In this paper we present a novel formulation based on a certain median function to solve discretely constrained mixed complementarity problems (MCPs). Such p...

This short note outlines how energy storage systems are becoming a core component of modern low carbon electric power systems. Challenges and opportunities a...

A stochastic integer-programming (SIP) model is presented to optimize long-term scheduling of underground mine operations while considering geological uncert...

This paper addresses the optimization of mineral supply chain operations under metal and material type uncertainties. A mathematical model to simultaneously ...

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...
