Balancing management of strategic aggregators using non-cooperative game theory

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mokhtar Bozorg, Mohammad Rayati

The aggregators are intermediary players at the distribution system level. They manage the financial transactions of resources such as micro-turbines (MTs), photo-voltaic (PV) production systems, flexible demands (FDs), and must-run demands (MDs) in the en ...

From Infinite to Finite Programs: Explicit Error Bounds with Applications to Approximate Dynamic Programming

Daniel Kuhn, Peyman Mohajerin Esfahani, John Lygeros, Tobias Sutter

We consider linear programming (LP) problems in infinite dimensional spaces that are in general computationally intractable. Under suitable assumptions, we develop an approximation bridge from the infinite-dimensional LP to tractable finite convex programs ...

Capital goods, measured TFP and growth: The case of Spain

Luis Franjo Garcia

The effect of investing in equipment and/or structures on TFP and long run growth is investigated here. We argue that economies can grow in spite of stagnant TFP if the investment rate is inefficiently high. We study the case of Spain where real GDP per wo ...

Robust Growth-Optimal Portfolios

Daniel Kuhn, Napat Rujeerapaiboon, Wolfram Wiesemann

The growth-optimal portfolio is designed to have maximum expected log-return over the next rebalancing period. Thus, it can be computed with relative ease by solving a static optimization problem. The growth-optimal portfolio has sparked fascination among ...

Parameter Learning in General Equilibrium: The Asset Pricing Implications

Pierre Collin Dufresne

Parameter learning strongly amplifies the impact of macroeconomic shocks on marginal utility when the representative agent has a preference for early resolution of uncertainty. This occurs as rational belief updating generates subjective long-run consumpti ...

Are French Households Car-Use Addicts? A microeconomic perspective

Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent

This article presents a microeconometric analysis of household car use in France. To characterize car use dependence, the myopic and rational addiction models are estimated using panel data drawn from the French "Car Fleet" survey. Significantly, the assum ...

Neoclassical equilibria as starting point for global gyrokinetic microturbulence simulations

Laurent Villard, Jonathan Graves, Stephan Brunner, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Thibaut Vernay, Ben McMillan

The implementation of linearized operators describing inter- and like-species collisions in the global gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code ORB5 [ S. Jolliet, Comput. Phys. Commun. 177, 409 (2007) ] is presented. A neoclassical axisymmetric equilibrium with s ...

Scale-up of batch processes via decentralized control

Dominique Bonvin, Benoît Chachuat, Michael Amrhein, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti

The economic environment in the specialty chemicals industry requires short times to market and thus the ability to develop new products and processes very rapidly. This, in turn, calls for large scale-ups from laboratory to production. Due to scale-relate ...
