Energy Management of Price-Maker Community Energy Storage by Stochastic Dynamic Programming

In this paper, we propose an analytical stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) algorithm to address the optimal management problem of price-maker community energy storage. As a price-maker, energy storage smooths price differences, thus decreasing energy arb ...

Making the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Acceptable and Climate Friendly for Least Developed Countries

Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana

Implementation of CBAM to support EU climate neutrality by 2050 has raised several concerns. As the mechanism aims to minimise leakage through equal fairness in global mitigation, imposing carbon tariffs on the EU's imports of energy- intensive goods could ...

Stable Fractional Matchings

Aris Filos Ratsikas

We study a generalization of the classical stable matching problem that allows for cardinal preferences (as opposed to ordinal) and fractional matchings (as opposed to integral). After observing that, in this cardinal setting, stable fractional matchings c ...
