Decomposition-Based Modular Conformal Prediction for Two-Stage Modeling
William Zhang, Saurabh Amin, Georgia Perakis
Conformal prediction offers finite-sample coverage guarantees under minimal assumptions. However, existing methods treat the entire modeling process as a black box, overlooking opp…
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…
