We propose a sigmoidal approximation for the value-at-risk (that we call SigVaR) and we use this approximation to tackle nonlinear programs (NLPs) with chance constraints. We prove that the approximation is conservative and that the level of conservatism can be made arbitrarily small for limiting parameter values. The SigVar approximation brings scalability benefits over exact mixed-integer reformulations because its sample average approximation can be cast as a standard NLP. We also establish explicit connections between SigVaR and other smooth sigmoidal approximations recently reported in the literature. We show that a key benefit of SigVaR over such approximations is that one can establish an explicit connection with the conditional value at risk (CVaR) approximation and exploit this connection to obtain initial guesses for the approximation parameters. We present small- and large-scale numerical studies to illustrate the developments.

We show that sparsity constrained optimization problems over low dimensional spaces tend to have a small duality gap. We use the Shapley-Folkman theorem to derive both data-driven bounds on the duality gap, and an efficient primalization procedure to
recover feasible points satisfying these bounds. These error bounds are proportional to the rate of growth of the objective with the target cardinality, which means in particular that the relaxation is nearly tight as soon as the target cardinality is large enough so that only uninformative features are added.
We present a method to find the maximum magnitude of any supply-shortfall service that an aggregator of energy storage devices is able to sell to a grid operator. This is first demonstrated in deterministic settings, then applied to scenarios in whic
h device availabilities are stochastic. In this case we implement chance constraints on the inability to deliver as promised. We show a significant computational improvement in using our method in place of straightforward scenario simulation. As an extension, we present an approximation to this method which allows the determined fleet capability to be applied to any chosen service, rather than having to re-solve the chance-constrained optimisation each time.
Aggregation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) loads can provide reserves to absorb volatile renewable energy, especially solar photo-voltaic (PV) generation. However, the time-varying PV generation is not perfectly known when the s
ystem operator decides the HVAC control schedules. To consider the unknown uncertain PV generation, in this paper, we formulate a distributionally robust chance-constrained (DRCC) building load control problem under two typical ambiguity sets: the moment-based and Wasserstein ambiguity sets. We derive mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) reformulations for DRCC problems under both sets. Especially for the DRCC problem under the Wasserstein ambiguity set, we utilize the right-hand side (RHS) uncertainty to derive a more compact MILP reformulation than the commonly known MILP reformulations with big-M constants. All the results also apply to general individual chance constraints with RHS uncertainty. Furthermore, we propose an adjustable chance-constrained variant to achieve a trade-off between the operational risk and costs. We derive MILP reformulations under the Wasserstein ambiguity set and second-order conic programming (SOCP) reformulations under the moment-based set. Using real-world data, we conduct computational studies to demonstrate the efficiency of the solution approaches and the effectiveness of the solutions.
In this paper, a sample-based procedure for obtaining simple and computable approximations of chance-constrained sets is proposed. The procedure allows to control the complexity of the approximating set, by defining families of simple-approximating s
ets of given complexity. A probabilistic scaling procedure then allows to rescale these sets to obtain the desired probabilistic guarantees. The proposed approach is shown to be applicable in several problem in systems and control, such as the design of Stochastic Model Predictive Control schemes or the solution of probabilistic set membership estimation problems.
We investigate constrained optimal control problems for linear stochastic dynamical systems evolving in discrete time. We consider minimization of an expected value cost over a finite horizon. Hard constraints are introduced first, and then reformula
ted in terms of probabilistic constraints. It is shown that, for a suitable parametrization of the control policy, a wide class of the resulting optimization problems are convex, or admit reasonable convex approximations.
