Consider learning a policy purely on the basis of demonstrated behavior -- that is, with no access to reinforcement signals, no knowledge of transition dynamics, and no further interaction with the environment. This *strictly batch…
We analyze the potential benefits that energy storage systems (ESS) can bring to distribution networks in terms of cost, stability and flexibility. We propose an optimization model for the optimal sizing, siting, and operation of storage…
This work considers energy management in a grid-connected microgrid which consists of multiple conventional generators (CGs), renewable generators (RGs) and energy storage systems (ESSs). A two-stage optimization approach is presented to…
The majority of multi-agent system (MAS) implementations aim to optimise agents' policies with respect to a single objective, despite the fact that many real-world problem domains are inherently multi-objective in nature. Multi-objective…
In computer system buses, most of the energy is spent to change the voltage of each line from high to low or vice versa. Bus encoding schemes aim to improve energy efficiency by limiting the number of transitions between successive uses of…
Recent improvements in energy efficiency and renewable energy integration have increased the relative importance of embodied carbon in data centers, motivating improved provisioning strategies. Conventional approaches primarily minimize…
Transitioning to renewable power generation is often difficult for remote or isolated communities, due to generation intermittency and high cost barriers. Our paper presents a simulation-based optimization approach for the design of policy…
In addition to their benefits, optimization systems can have negative economic, moral, social, and political effects on populations as well as their environments. Frameworks like fairness have been proposed to aid service providers in…
Coupled human-environment systems are increasingly being understood as complex adaptive systems (CAS), in which micro-level interactions between components lead to emergent behavior. Agent-based models (ABMs) hold great promise for…
The Paris agreement is the first-ever universally accepted and legally binding agreement on global climate change. It is a bridge between today's and climate-neutrality policies and strategies before the end of the century. Critical to this…
