Optimization Under Uncertainty for Energy Infrastructure Planning: A Synthesis of Methods, Tools, and Open Challenges
Rahman Khorramfar, Aron Brenner, Lara Booth +4
Energy infrastructure planning under uncertainty has become increasingly complex as electrification, interdependence between energy carriers, decarbonization, and extreme weather e…
Techno-economic analysis of decarbonized backup power systems using scenario-based stochastic optimization
Jonas Schweiger, Ruaridh Macdonald
In the context of growing concerns about power disruptions, grid reliability and the need for decarbonization, this study evaluates a broad range of clean backup power systems (BPS…
Effects of charging and discharging capabilities on trade-offs between model accuracy and computational efficiency in pumped thermal electricity storage
Taemin Heo, Ruaridh Macdonald
The increasing need for energy storage solutions to balance variable renewable energy sources has highlighted the potential of Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage (PTES). In this pa…
Improved formulation for long-duration storage in capacity expansion models using representative periods
Federico Parolin, Paolo Colbertaldo, Ruaridh Macdonald
With the increasing complexity and size of capacity expansion models, temporal aggregation has emerged as a common method to improve computational tractability. However, this appro…
Dynamic Optimization of Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers Considering Usage-Based Degradation
Landon Schofield, Benjamin Paren, Ruaridh Macdonald +2
We present a techno-economic optimization model for evaluating the design and operation of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, crucial for hydrogen production powered by…
