The output of renewable energy fluctuates significantly depending on weather conditions. We develop a unit commitment model to analyze requirements of the forecast output and its error for renewable energies. Our model obtains the time series for the operational state of thermal power plants that would maximize the profits of an electric power utility by taking into account both the forecast of output its error for renewable energies and the demand response of consumers. We consider a power system consisting of thermal power plants, photovoltaic systems (PV), and wind farms and analyze the effect of the forecast error on the operation cost and reserves. We confirm that the operation cost was increases with the forecast error. The effect of a sudden decrease in wind power is also analyzed. More thermal power plants need to be operated to generate power to absorb this sudden decrease in wind power. The increase in the number of operating thermal power plants within a short period does not affect the total operation cost significantly; however the substitution of thermal power plants by wind farms or PV systems is not expected to be very high. Finally, the effects of the demand response in the case of a sudden decrease in wind power are analyzed. We confirm that the number of operating thermal power plants is reduced by the demand response. A power utility has to continue thermal power plants for ensuring supply-demand balance; some of these plants can be decommissioned after installing a large number of wind farms or PV systems, if the demand response is applied using an appropriate price structure.

We consider a control problem involving several agents coupled through multiple unit-demand resources. Such resources are indivisible, and each agents consumption is modeled as a Bernoulli random variable. Controlling the number of such agents in a p robabilistic manner, subject to capacity constraints, is ubiquitous in smart cities. For instance, such agents can be humans in a feedback loop---who respond to a price signal, or automated decision-support systems that strive toward system-level goals. In this paper, we consider both single feedback loop corresponding to a single resource and multiple coupled feedback loops corresponding to multiple resources consumed by the same population of agents. For example, when a network of devices allocates resources to deliver several services, these services are coupled through capacity constraints on the resources. We propose a new algorithm with fundamental guarantees of convergence and optimality, as well as present an example illustrating its performance.
We introduce and analyze Markov Decision Process (MDP) machines to model individual devices which are expected to participate in future demand-response markets on distribution grids. We differentiate devices into the following four types: (a) optiona l loads that can be shed, e.g. light dimming; (b) deferrable loads that can be delayed, e.g. dishwashers; (c) controllable loads with inertia, e.g. thermostatically-controlled loads, whose task is to maintain an auxiliary characteristic (temperature) within pre-defined margins; and (d) storage devices that can alternate between charging and generating. Our analysis of the devices seeks to find their optimal price-taking control strategy under a given stochastic model of the distribution market.
In this paper, we propose a novel incentive based Demand Response (DR) program with a self reported baseline mechanism. The System Operator (SO) managing the DR program recruits consumers or aggregators of DR resources. The recruited consumers are re quired to only report their baseline, which is the minimal information necessary for any DR program. During a DR event, a set of consumers, from this pool of recruited consumers, are randomly selected. The consumers are selected such that the required load reduction is delivered. The selected consumers, who reduce their load, are rewarded for their services and other recruited consumers, who deviate from their reported baseline, are penalized. The randomization in selection and penalty ensure that the baseline inflation is controlled. We also justify that the selection probability can be simultaneously used to control SOs cost. This allows the SO to design the mechanism such that its cost is almost optimal when there are no recruitment costs or at least significantly reduced otherwise. Finally, we also show that the proposed method of self-reported baseline outperforms other baseline estimation methods commonly used in practice.
Neural conversation models are known to generate appropriate but non-informative responses in general. A scenario where informativeness can be significantly enhanced is Conversing by Reading (CbR), where conversations take place with respect to a giv en external document. In previous work, the external document is utilized by (1) creating a context-aware document memory that integrates information from the document and the conversational context, and then (2) generating responses referring to the memory. In this paper, we propose to create the document memory with some anticipated responses in mind. This is achieved using a teacher-student framework. The teacher is given the external document, the context, and the ground-truth response, and learns how to build a response-aware document memory from three sources of information. The student learns to construct a response-anticipated document memory from the first two sources, and the teachers insight on memory creation. Empirical results show that our model outperforms the previous state-of-the-art for the CbR task.

This paper proposes a global optimization method for it ensures finding good solutions while solving the unit commitment (UC) problem with carbon emission trading (CET). This method con-sists of two parts. In the first part, a sequence of linear inte -ger-relaxed subproblems are first solved to rapidly generate a tight linear relaxation of the original mixed integer nonlinear pro-gramming problem (MINLP) model. In the second part, the algo-rithm introduces the idea of center-cut so that it can quickly find good solutions. The approach tested on 10 test instances with units ranging from 35 to 1560 over a scheduling period of 24h, and compared with state-of-the-art solver CPLEX. The results show that the proposed algorithm can find better solutions than CPLEX in a short time. And it is more suitable to solve large scale UC problem than CPLEX.
