Ramping Procurement and Bid-Cost Recovery in Real-Time Market
Cong Chen, Valentina Norambuena, Lang Tong
We study ramping procurement co-optimized with economic dispatch under net-demand uncertainty. We examine two flexible ramp product designs implemented by grid operators: single-in…
Reachable-Set Decomposition for Real-Time Aggregation of Multi-Zone HVAC Fleets
Jingguan Liu, Xiaomeng Ai, Cong Chen +4
Aggregating building heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) fleets provides substantial real-time flexibility to power system operations. However, real-time aggregation…
Wholesale Market Participation via Competitive DER Aggregation
Cong Chen, Ahmed S. Alahmed, Timothy D. Mount +1
We consider the aggregation of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar PV, energy storage, and flexible loads, by a profit-seeking aggregator participating directly in t…
Risk-Aware Allocation of Transmission Capacity for AI Data Centers
Shaoze Li, Bohang Fang, Cong Chen
Rapid growth in AI-driven data center loads is creating significant challenges for transmission grid interconnection. This paper proposes robust and risk-aware frameworks to quanti…
Real-Time Defense Against Coordinated Cyber-Physical Attacks: A Robust Constrained Reinforcement Learning Approach
Saman Mazaheri Khamaneh, Tong Wu, Wei Sun +1
Modern power systems face increasing vulnerability to sophisticated cyber-physical attacks beyond traditional N-1 contingency frameworks. Existing security paradigms face a critica…
Capturing Opportunity Costs of Batteries with a Staircase Supply-Demand Function
Ye Guo, Chenge Gao, Cong Chen
In the global pursuit of carbon neutrality, the role of batteries is indispensable. They provide pivotal flexibilities to counter uncertainties from renewables, preferably by parti…
