The paper considers a stochastic programming problem with the empirical function constructed based on nonstationary observations and continuous time. A random process, stationary in a narrow sense and satisfying the strong mixing condition is investigated in the problem. The conditions under which the empirical estimate is consistent are given and large deviations of the estimate are considered.

The electrical energy systems suffer from several problems of operation including production of greenhouse gas emissions and low energy efficiency in fossil fuel-based power plants as well as high energy losses in transmission and distribution networks. Transition from the traditional centralized power generation into distributed power generation, via distributed energy resources, is introduced as a solution to deal with these problems. Micro-grid concept, as a cluster of distributed energy resources and local loads, is introduced to effectively realize distributed power generation. In standalone mode, micro-grid operator faces uncertainties which should be appropriately tackled into the operation problem formulation. For this purpose, a new decision making framework is proposed in this paper which guarantees optimal scheduling of distributed energy resources to simultaneously provide energy and reserve. The proposed modeling framework, which is visualized through a new risk-based stochastic approach, controls the risk of micro-grid operator in decision-making by Conditional Value at Risk method. Numerical results demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed framework to model the operation problem of a standalone micro-grid under different uncertainties. Moreover, sensitivity analysis reveals that by increasing the percentage of invoked reserve the expected total cost of micro-grid operator increases to manage the uncertainties.

In this paper, we study the competition of healthcare institutions for medical supplies in emergencies caused by natural disasters. In particular, we develop a two-stage procurement planning model in a random environment. We consider a pre-event policy, in which each healthcare institution seeks to minimize the purchasing cost of medical items and the transportation time from the first stage, and a recourse decision process to optimize the expected overall costs and the penalty for the prior plan, in response to each disaster scenario. Thus, each institution deals with a two-stage stochasticprogramming model that takes into account the unmet demand at the first stage, and the consequent penalty. Then, the institutions simultaneously solve their own stochastic optimization problems and reach a stable state governed by the stochastic Nash equilibrium concept. Moreover, we formulate the problem as a variational inequality;both the discrete and the general probability distribution cases are described. We also present an alternative formulation using infinite-dimensional duality tools. Finally, we discuss some numerical illustrations applying the progressive hedging algorithm.

The paper considers a stochastic programming problem with the empirical function constructed from nonhomogeneous observations of a homogeneous random field. The field satisfying the strong mixing condition is investigated in the problem. The conditions whereby the empirical estimate is consistent are given, and large deviations of the estimate for homogeneous observations are estimated.

dThis paper is devoted to the investigation of a stochastic programming problem with a convex criterion function in the case where the random factor is a stationary ergodic sequence. The problem is approximated by the problem of minimization of an empirical function. It is proved that, under some conditions, the empirical estimate coincides with the solution of the former problem in the case of a great number of observations and that the probability of large deviations of the empirical estimate from the solution of the initial problem decreases exponentially with increasing the number of observations.
