The emergence of the shared energy storage mode provides a solution for promoting renewable energy utilization. However, how establishing a multi-agent optimal operation model in dealing with benefit distribution under the shared energy storage is still a challenge. Considering the multi-agent integrated virtual power plant (VPP) taking part in the electricity market, an energy trading model based on the sharing mechanism is proposed to explore the effect of the shared energy storage on multiple virtual power plants (MVPPs). To analyse the relationship among MVPPs in the shared energy storage system (SESS), a game-theoretic method is introduced to simulate the bidding behaviour of VPP. Furthermore, the benefit distribution problem of the virtual power plant operator (VPPO) is formulated based on the Nash bargaining theory. In the case study, the proposed method is conducted in four VPPs with different resource endowments in terms of techno-economic and operation efficiency. Results verify that the multiple virtual power plants with a shared energy storage system interconnection system based on the sharing mechanism not only can achieve a win-win situation between the VPPO and the SESS on an operation cost but also obtain the optimal allocation scheme and improves the operation efficiency of the VPPs.

In the present paper we generalise the classical newsvendor problem for critical perishable commodities having more severe costs than its linear alternative. Piece wise polynomial cost functions are introduced to accommodate the excess severity. stochastic demand is assumed to follow a completely unknown probability distribution. Non parametric estimator of the optimal order quantity has been developed from an estimating equation using a random sample. Strong consistency of the estimator is proved for unique optimal order quantity and the result is extended for multiple solutions. Simulation results indicate that non parametric estimator is efficient in terms of mean square error. Real life application of the proposed non-parametric estimator has been demonstrated with Avocado demand in the United States of America and Covid-19 test kit demand during second wave of SARS-COV2 pandemic across 86 countries.

Microgrids represent a pivotal shift in energy technology, offering a suite of advantages over conventional power grids, such as improved reliability, cost efficiency, and environmental benefits due to their ability to integrate renewable sources and provide flexible energy solutions, underscoring the urgent need for grid modernization and strategic planning. This paper presents a stochastic economic model of linear programming (LP) for microgrid sizing, considering the charging scheduling profiles of electric vehicles (EVs) within a grid. The model is based on linear approximation techniques for the operation of EV and battery energy storage system (BESS). The model also incorporates the injection of energy from EV into energy distributions system (EDS) using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, which considers compensation for the owners.

This paper investigates inland port infrastructure investment planning under uncertain commodity (such as coal, petroleum, manufactured products, nonmetallic minerals) demand conditions. A two-stage stochastic optimization is developed to model the impact of demand uncertainty on infrastructure planning and transportation decisions. The model minimizes expected total costs, including capacity expansion costs, associated with handling equipment and storage infrastructure, and the expected transportation costs. To solve the problem, an accelerated Benders decomposition algorithm is implemented. The use of a stochastic approach is justified by comparing the value of stochastic solution with its corresponding deterministic solution. For demonstration, the model is applied to the Arkansas section of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS). Given data availability, the model is generalizable to other regions. Results show that as investment in port capacities (handling equipment and storage infrastructure) increases by $8 million, the percent of commodity volumes that moves via waterways (in ton-miles) increases by 1%. For the Arkansas application, the model determines nonmetallic minerals as the most affected commodity by investment, and it identifies a cluster of ports at Little Rock where the investment would have the most significant impact. The contribution of the paper is in introducing a stochastic modeling framework to quantify mode shift dependencies on inland waterways port infrastructure (handling equipment and storage). Comparison of a stochastic approach to the state-of-the-literature deterministic approaches, shows that a failure to use a stochastic modeling to capture uncertainty in commodity demand could cost up to $21 M per year. The model serves as a decision-making tool for optimal, distributed allocation of monetary investments, that encourages mode shift to inland waterways.

Singapore's power sector has set targets of net-zero emissions by 2050. Given the limited land space of the country, a key strategy to decarbonize the power grid is to import clean power from renewable energy resources such as photovoltaic (PV) plants installed at overseas locations. The present electricity market rules require such overseas PV plants to maintain constant power generation during each bidding period. To meet such requirements, energy storage systems (ESSs) are to be deployed in the PV plants to compensate for the PV power fluctuation. This paper proposes an optimal power bidding approach for maximizing the profit of the PV plant participating in the Singapore wholesale electricity market. The problem is formulated as a stochastic programming model, which takes the short-term PV power forecasting as the input, maximizes the expected profit considering the PV power selling revenue and the penalty cost for power shortfall during each bidding cycle (30 min), and satisfies constraints of the ESS. The proposed method can also be used for determining the optimal size of the ESS. Simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Storing off-peak electricity and supplying it during peak demand offers advantages in energy production, social impact, and environmental preservation. At the same time, private battery owners can profit from this energy arbitrage, driving diverse storage methods. Yet, varying market conditions and nonconvex nature of the electricity pricing lead to unpredictable market schemes. This paper employs stochastic programming to develop robust bidding strategies for uncertain market situations. We create efficient algorithms for battery owners, generate bidding strategies in each market, and analyze their structural performance. Numerical experiments demonstrate our algorithms' empirical performance, offering insights for battery owners.

Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) system is booming in urban transportation, however, the uncertain and complex fleet dynamic scheduling remains one of the main challenges for operators. Therefore, this study proposes a multistage dynamic scheduling approach for shared autonomous electric vehicles (SAEVs). Specifically, considering the matching characteristics of the different tasks, the vehicle order-taking and charging tasks are modelled as bipartite graph maximum weight matching problems with the objectives of maximizing order revenue and minimizing charging mileage. The vehicle repositioning task is modelled as integer programming with the objective of minimizing the vehicle dispatch mileage, and stochastic chance-constrained programming is applied to cope with uncertain user demands. A solution strategy combining the KM algorithm with Gurobi solver and greedy strategy is designed to obtain the real-time scheduling instructions. Finally, numerical experiments based on real travel data validate the advantages of the proposed approach in reducing fleet scheduling costs and improving system operational revenues.

Unpredictabilities and uncertainties are inherent in the management of distributed energy resources (DERs). This poses operational challenges for the utility/aggregator managing the resources and brings the need for an efficient decision-making framework under uncertainty for participation in electricity markets. This paper presents mixed-integer linear programming formulations considering the aggregator's risk preferences/tolerance in the day-ahead and real-time markets. Since DERs also introduce risks for the system operator responsible for the reliability of the electric grid, effective and easy-to-interpret risk quantification methodologies are expected to be beneficial from a practical outlook. A near-term risk metric is developed from the operator's perspective to assess the future performance of aggregators to help them make appropriate decisions. Various simulations using the NREL PERFORM dataset are conducted to analyze the effect of different risk preferences of the aggregator on both the profitability and the quantified risk metric.
