Generation expansion planning (GEP) is a power plant mix problem that identifies what,
where, when, and how new generating facilities should be installed and when old units be …

The generation expansion planning (GEP) problem involves the determination of types,
location and construction time of new generation technologies which should be added to the …

This paper proposes a two-stage two-level model for the energy pricing and dispatch
problem faced by a smart grid retailer who plays the role of an intermediary agent between a …

The most common procedure to solve a linear bilevel problem in the PES community is, by
far, to transform it into an equivalent single-level problem by replacing the lower level with its …

Stochastic programming constitutes a useful tool to address investment problems. This
technique represents uncertain input data using a set of scenarios, which should accurately …

The proliferation of distributed energy resources entails efficient market mechanisms in
distribution-level networks. This paper establishes a local energy market (LEM) framework …

This paper presents optimal pricing design for demand response (DR) integration in the
distribution network. In particular, we study the energy scheduling problem for a load serving …

This paper proposes a model to determine the optimal size of an energy storage facility from
a strategic investor's perspective. This investor seeks to maximize its profit through making …

In this paper, a new bi-level framework is presented for operational scheduling of a smart
distribution company (SDISCO) with electric vehicle (EV) parking lot (PL) and renewable …

As the cost of battery energy storage continues to decline, we are likely to see the
emergence of merchant energy storage operators. These entities will seek to maximize their …
