As more distributed energy resources become part of the demand-side infrastructure, it is important to quantify the energy flexibility they provide on a community scale, particularly to understand the impact of geographic, climatic, and…
This paper presents positive initial evidence that generative agents can relax the rigidity of traditional mathematical models for human decision-making in power dispatch and auction settings. We design two proof-of-concept energy…
Energy communities (ECs) are emerging as a promising decentralized model for managing cooperative distributed energy resources (DERs). As these communities expand and their operations become increasingly integrated into the grid, ensuring…
Current service robots suffer from limited natural language communication abilities, heavy reliance on predefined commands, ongoing human intervention, and, most notably, a lack of proactive collaboration awareness in human-populated…
Demand response provides utilities with a mechanism to share with end users the stochasticity resulting from the use of renewable sources. Pricing is accordingly used to reflect energy availability, to allocate such a limited resource to…
Increasing penetrations of distributed energy resources (DERs) and responsive loads (RLs) in the electric power distribution systems calls for a mechanism for joint supply-demand coordination. Recently, several transactive/bilateral…
This work proposes a geographically-based split of the community microgrids into clusters of members that tend to have similar consumption and generation profiles. Assuming a community microgrid divided into clusters, a two-layer…
Participatory urban sensing leverages human mobility for large-scale urban data collection, yet existing methods typically rely on centralized optimization and assume homogeneous participants, resulting in rigid assignments that overlook…
This paper presents a Reinforcement Learning (RL) based energy market for a prosumer dominated microgrid. The proposed market model facilitates a real-time and demanddependent dynamic pricing environment, which reduces grid costs and…
