Simulation study for the comparison of power flow models for a line distribution network with stochastic load demands

M. H. M. Christianen, M. Vlasiou, B. Zwart

We use simulation to compare different power flow models in the process of charging electric vehicles (EVs) by considering their random arrivals, their stochastic demand for energy…

Large Fluctuations in Locational Marginal Prices

Tommaso Nesti, John Moriarty, Alessandro Zocca +1

This paper investigates large fluctuations of Locational Marginal Prices (LMPs) in wholesale energy markets caused by volatile renewable generation profiles. Specifically, we study…

Efficient Scenario Generation for Heavy-tailed Chance Constrained Optimization

Jose Blanchet, Fan Zhang, Bert Zwart

We consider a generic class of chance-constrained optimization problems with heavy-tailed (i.e., power-law type) risk factors. In this setting, we use the scenario approach to obta…

Electric vehicle charging: a queueing approach

Angelos Aveklouris, Yorie Nakahira, Maria Vlasiou +1

The number of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to increase. As a consequence, more EVs will need charging, potentially causing not only congestion at charging stations, but also…

Optimization of stochastic lossy transport networks and applications to power grids

Alessandro Zocca, Bert Zwart

Motivated by developments in renewable energy and smart grids, we formulate a stylized mathematical model of a transport network with stochastic load fluctuations. Using an affine…

A Stochastic Resource-Sharing Network for Electric Vehicle Charging

Angelos Aveklouris, Maria Vlasiou, Bert Zwart

We consider a distribution grid used to charge electric vehicles such that voltage drops stay bounded. We model this as a class of resource-sharing networks, known as bandwidth-sha…
