Stochastic Capacity Accreditation: Incentivizing Resource Adequacy under Weather Uncertainty
Hangrui Liu, Shen Wang, Audun Botterud +1
High penetrations of variable renewable energy introduce significant resource adequacy challenges, particularly when weather-driven uncertainty affects renewable availability, elec…
Optimal Solar Investment and Operation under Asymmetric Net Metering
Nathan Engelman Lado, Ahmed Alahmed, Audun Botterud +1
We examine the joint investment and operational decisions of a prosumer, a customer who both consumes and generates electricity, under net energy metering (NEM) tariffs. Traditiona…
Optimal Scheduling of Electricity and Water in Renewable-Colocated Desalination Plants
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Audun Botterud, Saurabh Amin +1
We develop a mathematical framework for the optimal scheduling of flexible water desalination plants (WDPs) as hybrid generator-load resources. WDPs integrate thermal generation, m…
Watts and Drops: Co-Scheduling Power and Water in Desalination Plants
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Audun Botterud, Saurabh Amin +1
We develop a mathematical framework to jointly schedule water and electricity in a profit-maximizing renewable colocated water desalination plant that integrates both thermal and m…
Multi-sectoral Impacts of H2 and Synthetic Fuels Adoption for Heavy-duty Transportation Decarbonization
Youssef Shaker, Jun Wen Law, Audun Botterud +1
Policies focused on deep decarbonization of regional economies emphasize electricity sector decarbonization alongside electrification of end-uses. There is growing interest in util…
Integer-Clustering Optimization of Hydrogen and Battery EV Fleets Considering DERs
Sijia Geng, Thomas Lee, Dharik Mallapragada +1
Electrified transportation leads to a tighter integration between transportation and energy distribution systems. In this work, we develop scalable optimization models to co-design…
