Mobile Energy Storage in Power Network: Marginal Value and Optimal Operation
Utkarsha Agwan, Junjie Qin, Kameshwar Poolla +1
This paper examines the marginal value of mobile energy storage, i.e., energy storage units that can be efficiently relocated to other locations in the power network. In particular…
Electric Vehicle Battery Sharing Game for Mobile Energy Storage Provision in Power Networks
Utkarsha Agwan, Junjie Qin, Kameshwar Poolla +1
Electric vehicles (EVs) equipped with a bidirectional charger can provide valuable grid services as mobile energy storage. However, proper financial incentives need to be in place…
Market Implementation of Multiple-Arrival Multiple-Deadline Differentiated Energy Services
Yanfang Mo, Wei Chen, Li Qiu +1
An increasing concern in power systems is how to elicit flexibilities in demand, which leads to nontraditional electricity products for accommodating loads of different flexibility…
Selling Demand Response Using Options
Deepan Muthirayan, Dileep Kalathil, Sen Li +2
Wholesale electricity markets in many jurisdictions use a two-settlement structure: a day-ahead market for bulk power transactions and a real-time market for fine-grain supply-dema…
Sharing Storage in a Smart Grid: A Coalitional Game Approach
Pratyush Chakraborty, Enrique Baeyens, Kameshwar Poolla +2
Sharing economy is a transformative socio-economic phenomenon built around the idea of sharing underused resources and services, e.g. transportation and housing, thereby reducing c…
Analysis of Solar Energy Aggregation under Various Billing Mechanisms
Pratyush Chakraborty, Enrique Baeyens, Pramod P. Khargonekar +2
Ongoing reductions in the cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are driving their increased installations by residential households. Various incentive programs such as feed-in ta…
Effect of Adaptive and Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control on Throughput of Signalized Arterials
Armin Askari, Daniel Albarnaz Farias, Alex A. Kurzhanskiy +1
The paper evaluates the influence of the maximum vehicle acceleration and variable proportions of ACC/CACC vehicles on the throughput of an intersection. Two cases are studied: (1)…
Measuring Impact of Adaptive and Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control on Throughput of Signalized Intersections
Armin Askari, Daniel Albarnaz Farias, Alex A. Kurzhanskiy +1
To properly assess the impact of (cooperative) adaptive cruise control ACC (CACC), one has to model vehicle dynamics. First of all, one has to choose the car following model, as it…
Traffic Predictive Control from Low-Rank Structure
Samuel Coogan, Christopher Flores, Pravin Varaiya
The operation of most signalized intersections is governed by predefined timing plans that are applied during specified times of the day. These plans are designed to accommodate av…
The Sharing Economy for the Smart Grid
Dileep Kalathil, Chenye Wu, Kameshwar Poolla +1
The sharing economy has disrupted housing and transportation sectors. Homeowners can rent out their property when they are away on vacation, car owners can offer ride sharing servi…
PointQ model of an arterial network: calibration and experiments
Fatma Yildiz Tascikaraoglu, Jennie Lioris, Ajith Muralidharan +2
The calibration of a PointQ arterial microsimulation model is formulated as a quadratic programming problem (QP) whose decision variables are link flows, demands at entry links, an…
Low-dimensional Models in Spatio-Temporal Wind Speed Forecasting
Borhan M. Sanandaji, Akin Tascikaraoglu, Kameshwar Poolla +1
Integrating wind power into the grid is challenging because of its random nature. Integration is facilitated with accurate short-term forecasts of wind power. The paper presents a…
Rate-constrained Energy Services: Allocation Policies and Market Decisions
Ashutosh Nayyar, Matias Negrete-Pincetic, Kameshwar Poolla +1
The integration of renewable generation poses operational and economic challenges for the electricity grid. For the core problem of power balance, the legacy paradigm of tailoring…
Duration-differentiated Energy Services with a Continuum of Loads
Ashutosh Nayyar, Matias Negrete-Pincetic, Kameshwar Poolla +1
As the proportion of total power supplied by renewable sources increases, it gets more costly to use reserve generation to compensate for the variability of renewables like solar a…
Duration-Differentiated Services in Electricity
Ashutosh Nayyar, Matias Negrete-Pincetic, Kameshwar Poolla +1
The integration of renewable sources poses challenges at the operational and economic levels of the power grid. In terms of keeping the balance between supply and demand, the usual…
Compressive Origin-Destination Matrix Estimation
Borhan M. Sanandaji, Pravin P. Varaiya
The paper presents an approach to estimate Origin-Destination (OD) flows and their path splits, based on traffic counts on links in the network. The approach called Compressive Ori…
