The increasing penetration of renewable energy requires greater use of storage resources to manage system intermittency. As a result, there is growing interest in evaluating the opportunity cost of stored energy, or usage values, which can…
Renewable energy brings huge uncertainties to the power system, which challenges the traditional power system operation with limited flexible resources. One promising solution is to introduce dynamic pricing to more consumers, which, if…
In this paper, we use numerical optimization algorithms and a multiscale approach in order to find an optimal well management strategy over the life of the reservoir. The large number of well rates for each control step make the…
Current-day data centers and high-volume cloud services employ a broad set of heterogeneous servers. In such settings, client requests typically arrive at multiple entry points, and dispatching them to servers is an urgent distributed…
Energy storage systems (ESSs) are essential components of the future smart grids with high penetration of renewable energy sources. However, deploying individual ESSs for all energy consumers, especially in large systems, may not be…
The integration of storage and renewable resources fundamentally alters resource-adequacy analysis. Because storage couples decisions across time, it invalidates the traditional reliability models that are based on time-independent capacity…
