An improved statistical wake meandering model

Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort, Peter Andreas Brugger

A new statistical wake meandering (SWM) model is proposed that improves on existing models in the literature. Compared to the existing SWM models, the proposed model has a closed description that does not require simulations to create look-up tables while ...

Frequency Regulation with Storage: On Losses and Profits

François Richard Vuille, Dirk Lauinger, Daniel Kuhn

Low-carbon societies will need to store vast amounts of electricity to balance intermittent generation from wind and solar energy, for example, through frequency regulation. Here, we derive an analytical solution to the decision-making problem of storage o ...

An Equivalence Between Data Poisoning and Byzantine Gradient Attacks

Rachid Guerraoui, Le Nguyen Hoang, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Oscar Jean Olivier Villemaud

To study the resilience of distributed learning, the “Byzantine" literature considers a strong threat model where workers can report arbitrary gradients to the parameter server. Whereas this model helped obtain several fundamental results, it has sometimes ...

Enabling inter-area reserve exchange through stable benefit allocation mechanisms *

Orcun Karaca, Maryam Kamgarpour, Gabriela Hug

The establishment of a single European day-ahead market has accomplished the integration of the regional day-ahead markets. However, reserve provision and activation remain an exclusive responsibility of regional operators. This limited spatial coordinatio ...

Exploring policy change through agent-based simulation

Raphaël Klein

Policymaking is a complex process that has been studied using policy process theories almost exclusively. These theories have been built using a large number of qualitative cases. Such methods are useful for theory building but remain limited for theory ex ...

Grid-Supporting Battery Energy Storage Systems in Islanded Microgrids: A Data-Driven Control Approach

Alireza Karimi, Behrooz Bahrani, Reza Razzaghi

Islanded microgrids have low real and reactive power generation capacity and low synchronous inertia. This makes them susceptible to large frequency and voltage deviations caused by switching of large loads or equipment failures. These events deteriorate p ...
