Modern market management systems continue to evolve due to the intentions to improve system security and reliability. This evolvement has been leading to a transition of market auction models from a deterministic structure with…
Scheduling the maintenance based on the condition, respectively the degradation level of the system leads to improved system's reliability while minimizing the maintenance cost. Since the degradation level changes dynamically during the…
Integrating volatile renewable energy resources into the bulk power grid is challenging, due to the reliability requirement that at each instant the load and generation in the system remain balanced. In this study, we tackle this challenge…
Dynamic pricing through bilevel programming is widely used for demand response but often assumes perfect knowledge of prosumer behavior, which is unrealistic in practical applications. This paper presents a novel framework that integrates…
Transitioning to a Circular Economy requires policies to drive sustainable practices. This study proposes a bilevel optimization framework to evaluate the combined use of carbon taxes and subsidies in promoting circular supply chains under…
This paper deals with the problem of cost-optimal operation of smart buildings that integrate a centralized HVAC system, photovoltaic generation and both thermal and electrical storage devices. Building participation in a Demand-Response…
Energy storage can absorb variability from the rising number of wind and solar power producers. Storage is different from the conventional generators that have traditionally balanced supply and demand on fast time scales due to its hard…
An increasing number of smart devices controlling loads opens a potential pathway for false data attacks which could alter the loads. The presence of energy storage with its ability to quickly respond to discrepancies in loads offers a…
Predictive maintenance is an effective tool for reducing maintenance costs. Its effectiveness relies heavily on the ability to predict the future state of health of the system, and for this survival models have shown to be very useful. Due…
Bilevel programming problems frequently arise in real-world applications across various fields, including transportation, economics, energy markets and healthcare. These problems have been proven to be NP-hard even in the simplest form with…
We present an online stochastic model predictive control framework for demand charge management for a grid-connected consumer with attached electrical energy storage. The consumer we consider must satisfy an inflexible but stochastic…
We consider some crucial problems related to the secure and reliable operation of power systems with high renewable penetrations: how much reserve should we procure, how should reserve resources distribute among different locations, and how…
We consider class of equilibrium models including the implicit Walras supply-demand and competitive models. Such a model in this class, in general, is ill-posed. We formulate such a model in the form a variational inequality having certain…
In the context of building electrification, the operation of distributed energy resources integrating multiple energy carriers (electricity, heat, mobility) poses a significant challenge due to the nonlinear device dynamics, uncertainty,…

This paper presents a predictive controller for handling plug-and-play (P&P) charging requests of flexible loads in a distribution system. We define two types of flexible loads: (i) deferrable loads that have a fixed power profile but can…
The increasing penetration of renewable energy in recent years has led to more uncertainties in power systems. In order to maintain system reliability and security, electricity market operators need to keep certain reserves in the…
With the increasing adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), it is critical to develop efficient charging coordination mechanisms that minimize the cost and impact of PEV integration to the power grid. In this paper, we consider the…
The problem of heat system pricing is considered. A direct extension of locational marginal prices (LMP) in electricity markets to heat systems may lead to revenue inadequate issues. The underlying reason for such a problem is that, unlike…
