Frequency Control and Optimal Power Sharing in Combined Power and Heating Networks with Heat Pumps
Xin Qin, Ioannis Lestas
Heat pumps have the capability for fast adjustments in power consumption with potential connections to large heating-inertia district heating networks, and are thus a very importan…
An Optimal Control Interpretation of Augmented Distributed Optimization Algorithms
Liam Hallinan, Ioannis Lestas
Distributed optimization algorithms are used in a wide variety of problems involving complex network systems where the goal is for a set of agents in the network to solve a network…
Fundamental limits on taming infectious disease epidemics
Giovanni Pugliese Carratelli, Xiaodong Cheng, Kris V. Parag +1
Epidemic control frequently relies on adjusting interventions based on prevalence. But designing such policies is a highly non-trivial problem due to uncertain intervention effects…
Optimal control of stochastic networks of queues with linear costs
Giovanni Pugliese Carratelli, Ioannis Lestas
We consider an arbitrary network of queues with controlled transitions between queues. We consider optimal control problems where the costs are linear functions of the…
Economic Capacity Withholding Bounds of Competitive Energy Storage Bidders
Xin Qin, Ioannis Lestas, Bolun Xu
Economic withholding in electricity markets refers to generators bidding higher than their true marginal fuel cost, and is a typical approach to exercising market power. However, e…
Frequency Control and Power Sharing in Combined Heat and Power Networks
Xin Qin, Ioannis Lestas
We consider the problem of using district heating systems as ancillary services for primary frequency control in power networks. We propose a novel power sharing scheme for heating…
