We consider the scenario where $N$ utilities strategically bid for electricity in the day-ahead market and balance the mismatch between the committed supply and actual demand in the real-time market, with uncertainty in demand and local renewable generation in consideration. We model the interactions among utilities as a non-cooperative game, in which each utility aims at minimizing its per-unit electricity cost. We investigate utilities optimal bidding strategies and show that all utilities bidding according to (net load) prediction is a unique pure strategy Nash Equilibrium with two salient properties. First, it incurs no loss of efficiency; hence, competition among utilities does not increase the social cost. Second, it is robust and (0, $N-1$) fault immune. That is, fault behaviors of irrational utilities only help to reduce other rational utilities costs. The expected market supply-demand mismatch is minimized simultaneously, which improves the planning and supply-and-demand matching efficiency of the electricity supply chain. We prove the results hold under the settings of correlated prediction errors and a general class of real-time spot pricing models, which capture the relationship between the spot price, the day-ahead clearing price, and the market-level mismatch. Simulations based on real-world traces corroborate our theoretical findings. Our study adds new insights to market mechanism design. In particular, we derive a set of fairly general sufficient conditions for the market operator to design real-time pricing schemes so that the interactions among utilities admit the desired equilibrium.

We pose the aggregators 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 available to each vehicle for transportation given a certain charging plan.
Thanks to the totally unimodular character of the constraint matrix in the lower-level problems, the model can be mathematically recast as a computationally efficient mixed-integer program that delivers charging schedules that are robust against the uncertain availability of the EVs. Finally, we use synthetic data from the National Household Travel Survey 2017 to analyze the behavior of the EV aggregator from both economic and technical viewpoints and compare it with the results from a deterministic approach.
The widespread diffusion of distributed energy resources, especially those based on renewable energy, and energy storage devices has deeply modified power systems. As a consequence, demand response, the ability of customers to respond to regulating s
ignals, has moved from large high-voltage and medium-voltage end-users to small, low-voltage, customers. In order to be effective, the participation to demand response of such small players must be gathered by aggregators. The role and the business models of these new entities have been studied in literature from a variety of viewpoints. Demand response can be clearly applied by sending a dedicated price signal to customers, but this methodology cannot obtain a diverse, punctual, predictable, and reliable response. These characteristics can be achieved by directly controlling the loads units. This approach involves communication problems and technological readiness. This paper proposes a fully decentralized mixed integer linear programming approach for demand response. In this framework, each load unit performs an optimization, subject to technical and user-based constraints, and gives to the aggregator a desired profile along with a reserve, which is guaranteed to comply with the constraints. In this way, the aggregator can trade the reserve coming from several load units, being the only interface to the market. Upon request, then, the aggregator communicates to the load units the modifications to their desired profiles without either knowing or caring how this modification would be accomplished. The effectiveness is simulated on 200 realistic load units.
The effective allocation of cross-border trading capacities is one of the central challenges in implementation of a pan-European internal energy market. Flow-based market coupling has shown promising results for to achieve better price convergence be
tween market areas, while, at the same time, improving congestion management effectiveness by explicitly internalizing power flows on critical network elements in the capacity allocation routine. However, the question of FBMC effectiveness for a future power system with a very high share of intermittent renewable generation is often overlooked in the current literature. This paper provides a comprehensive summary on FBMC modeling assumptions, discusses implications of external policy considerations and explicitly discusses the impact of high-shares of intermittent generation on the effectiveness of FBMC as a method of capacity allocation and congestion management in zonal electricity markets. We propose to use an RES uncertainty model and probabilistic security margins on the FBMC parameterization to effectively assess the impact of forecast errors in renewable dominant power systems. Numerical experiments on the well-studied IEEE 118 bus test system demonstrate the mechanics of the studied FBMC simulation. Our data and implementation are published through the open-source power market tool POMATO.
When providing bulk power system services, a third-party aggregator could inadvertently cause operational issues at the distribution level. We propose a coordination architecture in which an aggregator and distribution operator coordinate to avoid di
stribution network constraint violations, while preserving private information. The aggregator controls thermostatic loads to provide frequency regulation, while the distribution operator overrides the aggregators control actions when necessary to ensure safe network operation. Using this architecture, we propose two control strategies, which differ in terms of measurement and communication requirements, as well as model complexity and scalability. The first uses an aggregate model and blocking controller, while the second uses individual load models and a mode-count controller. Both outperform a benchmark strategy in terms of tracking accuracy. Furthermore, the second strategy performs better than the first, with only 0.10% average RMS error (compared to 0.70%). The second is also able to maintain safe operation of the distribution network while overriding less than 1% of the aggregators control actions (compared to approximately 15% by the first strategy). However, the second strategy has significantly more measurement, communication, and computational requirements, and therefore would be more complex and expensive to implement than the first strategy.
The increasing complexity of modern robotic systems and the environments they operate in necessitates the formal consideration of safety in the presence of imperfect measurements. In this paper we propose a rigorous framework for safety-critical cont
rol of systems with erroneous state estimates. We develop this framework by leveraging Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) and unifying the method of Backup Sets for synthesizing control invariant sets with robustness requirements -- the end result is the synthesis of Measurement-Robust Control Barrier Functions (MR-CBFs). This provides theoretical guarantees on safe behavior in the presence of imperfect measurements and improved robustness over standard CBF approaches. We demonstrate the efficacy of this framework both in simulation and experimentally on a Segway platform using an onboard stereo-vision camera for state estimation.
