Fast and revenue-oriented protection of radial LV cables with smart battery operation (abstract)

Increasing demand and generation in the low-voltage part of our electricity grids challenge existing infrastructure. A battery installed at the end of often-overheated cables can protect them from overheating, if it is operated intelligently. In addition, it can be crucial to also optimize the battery’s revenue. We propose two robust heuristic...

Acceptance Strategies for Maximizing Agent Profits in Online Scheduling

In the market of global logistics, agents need to decide upon whether to accept jobs sequentially offered to them. These jobs, which need to be executed in the near future, have different payments and time constraints. In the offering process we study here, an agent (with limited capacity) needs to make an immediate acceptance decision with...

Efficient Methods for Multi-agent Multi-issue Negotiation: Allocating Resources

In this paper, we present an automated multi-agent multi-issue negotiation solution to solve a resource allocation problem. We use a multilateral negotiation model, by which three agents bid sequentially in consecutive rounds till some deadline. Two issues are bundled and negotiated concurrently, so win-win opportunities can be generated as...
