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 ...

Equilibria in Network Constrained Energy Markets

Leonardo Massai

We study an energy market composed of producers who compete to supply energy to different markets and want to maximize their profits. The energy market is modeled by a graph representing a constrained power network where nodes represent the markets and lin ...

Scalable Multi-agent Coordination and Resource Sharing

Panayiotis Danassis

A plethora of real world problems consist of a number of agents that interact, learn, cooperate, coordinate, and compete with others in ever more complex environments. Examples include autonomous vehicles, robotic agents, intelligent infrastructure, IoT de ...

Heterogeneity in decentralized asset markets

Julien Hugonnier

We study a canonical model of decentralized exchange for a durable good or asset, where agents are assumed to have time-varying, heterogeneous utility types. Whereas the existing literature has focused on the special case of two types, we allow agents' uti ...

Exploiting environmental signals to enable policy correlation in large-scale decentralized systems

Boi Faltings, Panayiotis Danassis, Zeki Doruk Erden

Can artificial agents benefit from human conventions? Human societies manage to successfully self-organize and resolve the tragedy of the commons in common-pool resources, in spite of the bleak prediction of non-cooperative game theory. On top of that, rea ...

European Economic impacts of cutting energy imports from Russia: A computable general equilibrium analysis

Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana

The recent economic sanctions against Russia can jeopardise the sustainability of the European Union's (EU) energy supply. Despite the EU's strong commitment to stringent abatement targets, fossil fuels still play a significant role in the EU energy policy ...

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 ...

Acetate, a metabolic product of Heligmosomoides polygyrus, facilitates intestinal epithelial barrier breakdown in a FFAR2-dependent manner

Nicola Harris, Mario Michael Zaiss, Lalit Kumar Dubey, Julia Esser-von Bieren, Luc Xavier Marie Lebon

Approximately 2 billion people worldwide and a significant part of the domestic livestock are infected with soil-transmitted helminths, of which many establish chronic infections causing substantial eco-nomic and welfare burdens. Beside intensive research ...

A FAIR based approach to data sharing in Europe

Joan Decker

The European fusion research activities have, over recent decades, generated a vast and varied set of data. The volume and diversity of the data that need to be catalogued and annotated make the task of organising and making the data available within a bro ...

Price-based regulation of oligopolistic markets under discrete choice models of demand

Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Stefano Bortolomiol

We propose a framework to find optimal price-based policies to regulate markets characterized by oligopolistic competition and in which consumers make a discrete choice among a finite set of alternatives. The framework accommodates general discrete choice ...

Frictional Intermediation in Over-the-Counter Markets

Julien Hugonnier

We extend Duffie et al.'s (2005) search-theoretic model of over-the-counter (OTC) asset markets, allowing for a decentralized inter-dealer market with arbitrary heterogeneity in dealers' valuations (or, equivalently, inventory costs). We develop a solution ...
