Spatially distributed energy storage devices can provide additional flexibility to system operators, which is needed to transition from primarily fossil fuel based electricity generation to variable renewable generation. Aggregators in charge of controlling distributed energy storage can take advantage of existing economic incentives for more flexibility. However, controlling large numbers of energy storage devices with individual constraints in accordance with the strict rules of existing energy and reserve markets is challenging. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the design and performance of a system that enables aggregators to bring large numbers of dedicated and fully controllable energy storage devices to multiple markets concurrently. In particular, we propose algorithms and heuristic optimization methods that allow aggregators to control such energy resources in accordance with arbitrary market rules and participation strategies. Our evaluation is based on a realistic dual market (reserve and intra-day energy) use case. We find that effective market-conform control of large numbers of energy storage devices using the proposed algorithms is feasible, even on short time scales. Furthermore, our results also indicate that the scalability of the proposed system design can be further improved via parallelization without limiting the reserve/energy brought to market.

This paper focuses on a dynamic scheduling problem in a multi-product three-stage flexible flow shop where new jobs continuously arrive over time. Each of the parallel machines in the second stage requires a setup to changeover job types. As soon as a setup is done at a machine, its defect rate becomes stable. However, after unknown time periods, the machine's defect rate becomes unstable due to some technical reasons. Jobs are inspected at the final stage to send quality feedback to the previous stage when the average quality rate becomes lower than a predetermined tolerance. A new dispatching rule-based scheduling algorithm (DRSA) is developed to achieve better quality and tardiness-related performance by extending the previous research of Joo et al. [1]. Results of computational experiments show that the new DRSA outperforms previous algorithms.
