Integrating advanced discrete choice models in mixed integer linear optimization

Michel Bierlaire, Meritxell Pacheco Paneque, Bernard Gendron

In many transportation systems, a mismatch between the associated design and planning decisions and the demand is typically encountered. A tailored system is not only appealing to operators, which could have a better knowledge of their operational costs, b ...

Unsupervised algorithm for disaggregating low-sampling-rate electricity consumption of households

Christophe Ballif, Nicolas Würsch, Lionel Benjamin Bloch, Jordan Holweger, Marina Dorokhova

Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) has been extensively researched over the last decade. The objective of NILM is to identify the power consumption of individual appliances and to detect when particular devices are on or off from measuring the power cons ...

Distributed Multi-Unit Privacy Assured Bidding (PAB) for Smart Grid Demand Response Programs

Muhammed Fatih Balli

The stringent requirement of the demand-supply equilibrium for delivering electricity has traditionally been dealt with a supply-side perspective, assuming that the demand is not alterable. With the promises of the Smart Grid, demand- side management techn ...

Matching Demand with Supply in the Smart Grid using Agent-Based Multiunit Auction

Karl Aberer, Tri Kurniawan Wijaya

Recent work has suggested reducing electricity generation cost by cutting the peak to average ratio (PAR) without reducing the total amount of the loads. However, most of these proposals rely on consumer's willingness to act. In this paper, we propose an a ...
