Bundling a large number of distributed energy resources through a load aggregator has been advocated as an effective means to integrate such resources into whole-sale energy markets. To ease market clearing, system operators allow…
Many modern schedulers can dynamically adjust their service capacity to match the incoming workload. At the same time, however, unpredictability and instability in service capacity often incur operational and infrastructure costs. In this…
