Forecasting the Price-Response of a Pool of Buildings via Homothetic Inverse Optimization
Ricardo Fernández-Blanco, Juan Miguel Morales, Salvador Pineda
This paper focuses on the day-ahead forecasting of the aggregate power of a pool of smart buildings equipped with thermostatically-controlled loads. We first propose the modeling o…
An Efficient Robust Approach to the Day-ahead Operation of an Aggregator of Electric Vehicles
Álvaro Porras, Ricardo Fernández-Blanco, Juan M. Morales +1
The growing use of electric vehicles (EVs) may hinder their integration into the electricity system as well as their efficient operation due to the intrinsic stochasticity associat…
Day-ahead Operation of an Aggregator of Electric Vehicles via Optimization under Uncertainty
Álvaro Porras, Ricardo Fernández-Blanco, Juan Miguel Morales +1
We pose the aggregator's problem as a bilevel model, where the upper level minimizes the total operation costs of the fleet of EVs, while each lower level minimizes the energy avai…
How Can Smart Buildings Be Price-Responsive?
Ricardo Fernández-Blanco, Juan Miguel Morales, Salvador Pineda
The prospective participation of smart buildings in the electricity system is strongly related to the increasing active role of demand-side resources in the electrical grid. In add…
Inverse Optimization with Kernel Regression: Application to the Power Forecasting and Bidding of a Fleet of Electric Vehicles
Ricardo Fernández-Blanco, Juan Miguel Morales, Salvador Pineda +1
This paper considers an aggregator of Electric Vehicles (EVs) who aims to learn the aggregate power of his/her fleet while also participating in the electricity market. The propose…
Sharing Energy Storage Between Transmission and Distribution
Ryan Elliott, Ricardo Fernandez-Blanco, Kelly Kozdras +4
This paper addresses the problem of how best to coordinate, or `stack,' energy storage services in systems that lack centralized markets. Specifically, its focus is on how to coord…
Time-Adaptive Unit Commitment
Salvador Pineda, Ricardo Fernandez-Blanco, Juan Miguel Morales
The short-term operation of a power system is usually planned by solving a day-ahead unit commitment problem. Due to historical reasons, the commitment of the power generating unit…
Optimal Carbon Taxes for Emissions Targets in the Electricity Sector
Daniel J. Olsen, Yury Dvorkin, Ricardo Fernández-Blanco +1
The most dangerous effects of anthropogenic climate change can be mitigated by using emissions taxes or other regulatory interventions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Thi…
Impact of Local Transmission Congestion on Energy Storage Arbitrage Opportunities
Yishen Wang, Yury Dvorkin, Ricardo Fernández-Blanco +2
Reduced installation and operating costs give energy storage systems an opportunity to participate actively and profitably in electricity markets. In addition to providing ancillar…
Scalable Planning for Energy Storage in Energy and Reserve Markets
Bolun Xu, Yishen Wang, Yury Dvorkin +4
Energy storage can facilitate the integration of renewable energy resources by providing arbitrage and ancillary services. Jointly optimizing energy and ancillary services in a cen…
