Statistical Economies of Scale in Battery Sharing
Vivek Deulkar, Jayakrishnan Nair, Ankur A. Kulkarni
The goal of this paper is to shed light on the statistical economies of scale achievable from sharing of storage between renewable generators. We conduct an extensive study using r…
The Efficiency of Generalized Nash and Variational Equilibria
Ankur A. Kulkarni
Shared-constraint games are noncooperative -player games where players are coupled through a common coupling constraint. It is known that such games admit two kinds of equilibri…
Efficiency Fairness Tradeoff in Battery Sharing
Karan N. Chadha, Ankur A. Kulkarni, Jayakrishnan Nair
The increasing presence of decentralized renewable generation in the power grid has motivated consumers to install batteries to save excess energy for future use. The high price of…
Minimax Theorems for Finite Blocklength Lossy Joint Source-Channel Coding over an AVC
Anuj S. Vora, Ankur A. Kulkarni
Motivated by applications in the security of cyber-physical systems, we pose the finite blocklength communication problem in the presence of a jammer as a zero-sum game between the…
Aggregate Play and Welfare in Strategic Interactions on Networks
Karan N. Chadha, Ankur A. Kulkarni
In recent work by Bramoullé and Kranton, a model for the provision of public goods on a network was presented and relations between equilibria of such a game and properties of the…
Sizing Storage for Reliable Renewable Integration: A Large Deviations Approach
Vivek Deulkar, Jayakrishnan Nair, Ankur A. Kulkarni
The inherent intermittency of wind and solar generation presents a significant challenge as we seek to increase the penetration of renewable generation in the power grid. Increasin…
Price-Coupling Games and the Generation Expansion Planning Problem
Mathew P. Abraham, Ankur A. Kulkarni
In this paper, we introduce and study a class of games called price-coupling games that arise in many scenarios, especially in the electricity industry. In a price-coupling game, t…
