Whitman, Charles (author)This work seeks to resolve an outstanding problem in the use of reinforcement-learning methods for the simulation of economically-rational agents. We discuss the problem of non-stationarity, and how this subsequently limits market simulation capabilities. After explicating and isolating the source of the problem for a day-ahead electricity...master thesis 2023

Elabbas, Mohamed A.Eltahir (author), De Vries, Laurens (author), Correljé, A. (author)While the traditional perspective on regional power pools is that of regional electricity markets, regional power pools in Africa are development tools with unrepresentative and under-researched dynamics in their evolution and market design. Five African power pools are under development to bring the continent into a single electricity market....journal article 2023

Piao, L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)DC distribution systems are a promising alternative to existing AC distribution systems. They connect customers to local energy sources without conversion, thus reducing power losses. However, the unique features of DC impose strict requirements for system operation compared to AC. Within the context of a liberalized energy market, this...journal article 2021
