Short Description
Motivated by decarbonization goals, this project concerns the modeling and mathematical analysis of multi-modal energy markets on the intraday scale, which are organized in a distributed fashion. Uncertainties arising from physical quantities and short-term fluctuations in energy output are incorporated.
Additional Information
On the mathematical side, we study physics-based multiagent problems that take a form of stochastic generalized Nash equilibrium problems (SGNEPs) in infinite dimensions. In lieu of natural gas markets, literature has focused on parts or stylized versions of these problems, but have not been complete. Works related to game theoretic electricity markets on the other hand have not focused much on PDE type constraints or infinite dimensions. Study of such comprehensive and coupled systems is the major objective of this research.
The project is expected to advance the development of distributed models and methods in the context of multi-modal energy systems. From an application perspective, the goal is to model the intraday behavior of a distributed electricity market that is coupled to a hydrogen gas network. The mathematical goals include the rigorous analysis of such systems, including incorporating uncertainties and showing existence of equilibria for the distributed system in the function space setting. Additionally, novel mesh-independent distributed methods will be developed to compute equilibria.
