Epstein Institute / ISE 651 Seminar Series
Tue, Sep 30, 2014 @ 03:30 PM - 04:50 PM
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Harsha Gangammanavar, Visiting Assistant Professor, Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University of Southern California
Talk Title: "Multiple Timescale Stochastic Optimization and Control for Power Systems Application"
Series: Epstein Institute Seminar Series
Abstract: This talk will present a stochastic optimization framework which accommodates decisions at multiple timescales. The framework is motivated by the challenges associated with incorporating renewable resources into large scale power systems. The conventional thermal generation decisions are made at a coarse timescale using the stochastic decomposition algorithm. The renewable resources, network utilization and storage devices are controlled at fine timescale intervals. At this timescale we have a multistage problem which is formulated as a stochastic dynamic program, where we estimate the value of resources in storage using a piecewise linear value function approximation. Hence this framework combines a stochastic programming algorithm with an approximate dynamic programming approach. The computational results are based on incorporating wind simulation into this algorithm.
