The firefly algorithm has become an increasingly important tool of Swarm Intelligence that
has been applied in almost all areas of optimization, as well as engineering practice. Many …

Abstract The Electricity Supply Chain is a system of enabling procedures to optimize
processes ranging from production to transportation and consumption of electricity. The …

Unit commitment, one of the most critical tasks in electric power system operations, faces
new challenges as the supply and demand uncertainty increases dramatically due to the …

This paper proposes bilateral contract networks as a new scalable market design for peer-to-
peer energy trading. Coordinating small-scale distributed energy resources to shape overall …

Most relevant decisions to be made by market agents within an energy market involve a
significant level of data uncertainty. For agents to make informed decisions within such a …

Microgrids are subsystems of the distribution grid, which comprises generation capacities,
storage devices, and controllable loads, operating as a single controllable system either …

Today, the stability of the electric power grid is maintained through real time balancing of
generation and demand. Grid scale energy storage systems are increasingly being …

This paper proposes an optimal bidding strategy in the day-ahead market of a microgrid
consisting of intermittent distributed generation (DG), storage, dispatchable DG, and price …

Bi-level optimization and reinforcement learning (RL) constitute the state-of-the-art
frameworks for modeling strategic bidding decisions in deregulated electricity markets …

In their attempt to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation,
several countries are committed to install wind power generation up to and beyond the 10 …
