Frequency Constrained MPC for Efficient Grid Side Operation of Wind Power Conversion Systems
Orcun Karaca, Georgios Darivianakis
Model predictive control (MPC) has proven its applicability in power conversion control with its fast dynamic response to reference changes while ensuring critical system constrain…
Switching Frequency Limitation with Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control via Slack Variables
Luca M. Hartmann, Orcun Karaca, Tinus Dorfling +1
Past work proposed an extension to finite control set model predictive control to track both a current reference and a switching frequency reference, simultaneously. Such an object…
Actuator Placement for Structural Controllability beyond Strong Connectivity and towards Robustness
Baiwei Guo, Orcun Karaca, Sepide Azhdari +2
Actuator placement is a fundamental problem in control design for large-scale networks. In this paper, we study the problem of finding a set of actuator positions by minimizing a g…
Multi-robot task allocation for safe planning against stochastic hazard dynamics
Daniel Tihanyi, Yimeng Lu, Orcun Karaca +1
We address multi-robot safe mission planning in uncertain dynamic environments. This problem arises in several applications including safety-critical exploration, surveillance, and…
Performance guarantees of forward and reverse greedy algorithms for minimizing nonsupermodular nonsubmodular functions on a matroid
Orcun Karaca, Daniel Tihanyi, Maryam Kamgarpour
This letter studies the problem of minimizing increasing set functions, or equivalently, maximizing decreasing set functions, over the base of a matroid. This setting has received…
A market-based approach for enabling inter-area reserve exchange
Orcun Karaca, Stefanos Delikaraoglou, Maryam Kamgarpour
Considering the sequential clearing of energy and reserves in Europe, enabling inter-area reserve exchange requires optimally allocating inter-area transmission capacities between…
On the theory and applications of mechanism design and coalitional games in electricity markets
Orcun Karaca
Although the specific structures of electricity markets are diverse around the world, they were all conceived on the premise of predictable, controllable generation with nonnegligi…
A convex relaxation approach for the optimized pulse pattern problem
Lukas Wachter, Orcun Karaca, Georgios Darivianakis +1
Optimized Pulse Patterns (OPPs) are gaining increasing popularity in the power electronics community over the well-studied pulse width modulation due to their inherent ability to p…
Enabling inter-area reserve exchange through stable benefit allocation mechanisms
Orcun Karaca, Stefanos Delikaraoglou, Gabriela Hug +1
The establishment of a single European day-ahead market has accomplished the integration of the regional day-ahead markets. However, the reserves provision and activation remain an…
No-Regret Learning from Partially Observed Data in Repeated Auctions
Orcun Karaca, Pier Giuseppe Sessa, Anna Leidi +1
We study a general class of repeated auctions, such as the ones found in electricity markets, as multi-agent games between the bidders. In such a repeated setting, bidders can adap…
A comment on "Performance guarantees of a greedy algorithm for minimizing a supermodular set function on comatroid"
Orcun Karaca, Baiwei Guo, Maryam Kamgarpour
We provide a counterexample to the performance guarantee obtained in the paper "Performance guarantees of a greedy algorithm for minimizing a supermodular set function on comatroid…
Actuator Placement under Structural Controllability using Forward and Reverse Greedy Algorithms
Baiwei Guo, Orcun Karaca, Tyler Summers +1
Actuator placement is an active field of research which has received significant attention for its applications in complex dynamical networks. In this paper, we study the problem o…
Actuator Placement for Optimizing Network Performance under Controllability Constraints
Baiwei Guo, Orcun Karaca, Tyler Summers +1
With the rising importance of large-scale network control, the problem of actuator placement has received increasing attention. Our goal in this paper is to find a set of actuators…
Core-Selecting Mechanisms in Electricity Markets
Orcun Karaca, Maryam Kamgarpour
Due to its theoretical virtues, several recent works propose the use of the incentive-compatible Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism for electricity markets. Coalitions of partic…
Exploiting Weak Supermodularity for Coalition-Proof Mechanisms
Orcun Karaca, Maryam Kamgarpour
Under the incentive-compatible Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanism, coalitions of participants can influence the auction outcome to obtain higher collective profit. These manipulations…
Designing Coalition-Proof Reverse Auctions over Continuous Goods
Orcun Karaca, Pier Giuseppe Sessa, Neil Walton +1
This paper investigates reverse auctions that involve continuous values of different types of goods, general nonconvex constraints, and second stage costs. We seek to design the pa…
