Coordination Strategies for Reducing Price Volatility in Local Electricity Markets

With increasing renewable energy and cross-sectoral electrification price volatility is increasing. Flexibility through demand-side management and electric storage has the potential for reducing price volatility. In this thesis, using duality theory the flexibility required for constraining price to a maximum limit is quantified. <br/...

Optimization modeling of regional energy systems considering coordination mechanisms

Dutch regional municipalities increasingly take an active role in the transition to more sustainable and autonomous energy supply systems, using local energy sources like wind, solar and biomass. The ambition, on the one hand, concerns how an optimal local energy supply system can be designed such that local energy targets can be realized with...

Solving the Plan Coordination Problem

In this thesis we focus on implicit coordination for multi-agent planning problems. In such problems, agents are not able or willing to cooperate with each other and hence we need to perform pre-planning coordination in order to ensure that merging all their plans always results in a feasible joint plan. More specifically, we are interested in...
