On the Efficiency of Connection Charges---Part I: A Stochastic Framework

Daniel Munoz-Alvarez, Lang Tong

备注：: 11 pages, 2 figures

英文摘要：

This two-part paper addresses the design of retail electricity tariffs for distribution systems with distributed energy resources such as solar power and storage. In particular, the optimal design of dynamic two-part tariffs for a regulated monopolistic retailer is considered, where the retailer faces exogenous wholesale electricity prices and fixed costs on the one hand and stochastic demands with inter-temporal price dependencies on the other. Part I presents a general framework and analysis for revenue adequate retail tariffs with advanced notification, dynamic prices and uniform connection charges. It is shown that the optimal two-part tariff consists of a dynamic price that may not match the expected wholesale price and a connection charge that distributes uniformly among all customers the retailer's fixed costs and a price-volume risk premium. A sufficient condition for the optimality of the derived two-part tariff among the class of arbitrary ex-ante tariffs is obtained. Numerical simulations quantify the substantial welfare gains that the optimal two-part tariff may bring compared to the optimal linear tariff (without connection charge). Part II focuses on the impact of two-part tariffs on the integration of distributed energy resources.

BSDEs with logarithmic growth driven by a Brownian motion and a Poisson random measure and connection to stochastic control problem

In this paper, we study one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equation with jump under logarithmic growth assumption in the z-variable (|z|\sqrt{|\ln|z|}|) and an L^p terminal value (for a suitable p>2). We show the existence and the uniqueness of the solution when the noise is driven by a Brownian motion and an independent Poisson random measure. In addition, we highlight the connection of such BSDEs with stochastic optimal control problem, where we show the existence of an optimal strategy for the stochastic control problem.

Connection between MP and DPP for Stochastic Recursive Optimal Control Problems: Viscosity Solution Framework in Local Case

This paper deals with a nonsmooth version of the connection between the maximum principle and dynamic programming principle, for the stochastic recursive control problem when the control domain is convex. By employing the notions of sub- and super-jets, the set inclusions are derived among the value function and the adjoint processes. The general case for non-convex control domain is open.

Shapley-Snow kernels, multiparameter eigenvalue problems and stochastic games

Stochastic nonzero-sum games: a new connection between singular control and optimal stopping

In this paper we establish a new connection between a class of 2-player nonzero-sum games of optimal stopping and certain $2$-player nonzero-sum games of singular control. We show that whenever a Nash equilibrium in the game of stopping is attained by hitting times at two separate boundaries, then such boundaries also trigger a Nash equilibrium in the game of singular control. Moreover a differential link between the players' value functions holds across the two games.

Connection between MP and DPP for Stochastic Recursive Optimal Control Problems: Viscosity Solution Framework in General Case

This paper deals with a stochastic recursive optimal control problem, where the diffusion coefficient depends on the control variable and the control domain is not necessarily convex. We focus on the connection between the general maximum principle and the dynamic programming principle for such control problem without the assumption that the value is smooth enough, the set inclusions among the sub- and super-jets of the value function and the first-order and second-order adjoint processes as well as the generalized Hamiltonian function are established. Moreover, by comparing these results with…

Connection among stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, path-integral, and Koopman operator on nonlinear stochastic optimal control

The path-integral control, which stems from the stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, is one of the methods to control stochastic nonlinear systems. This paper gives a new insight into nonlinear stochastic optimal control problems from the perspective of Koopman operators. When a finite-dimensional dynamical system is nonlinear, the corresponding Koopman operator is linear. Although the Koopman operator is infinite-dimensional, adequate approximation makes it tractable and useful in some discussions and applications. Employing the Koopman operator perspective, it is clarified that only …

On the Efficiency of Connection Charges---Part II: Integration of Distributed Energy Resources

This two-part paper addresses the design of retail electricity tariffs for distribution systems with distributed energy resources (DERs). Part I presents a framework to optimize an ex-ante two-part tariff for a regulated monopolistic retailer who faces stochastic wholesale prices on the one hand and stochastic demand on the other. In Part II, the integration of DERs is addressed by analyzing their endogenous effect on the optimal two-part tariff and the induced welfare gains. Two DER integration models are considered: (i) a decentralized model involving behind-the-meter DERs in a net metering …

On infinite dimensional linear programming approach to stochastic control

We consider the infinite dimensional linear programming (inf-LP) approach for solving stochastic control problems. The inf-LP corresponding to problems with uncountable state and input spaces is in general computationally intractable. By focusing on linear systems with quadratic cost (LQG), we establish a connection between this approach and the well-known Riccati LMIs. In particular, we show that the semidefinite programs known for the LQG problem can be derived from the pair of primal and dual inf-LPs. Furthermore, we establish a connection between multi-objective and chance constraint crite…

Sufficient stochastic maximum principle in a regime-switching diffusion model

We prove a sufficient stochastic maximum principle for the optimal control of a regime-switching diffusion model. We show the connection to dynamic programming and we apply the result to a quadratic loss minimization problem, which can be used to solve a mean-variance portfolio selection problem.

Algorithmic Connections Between Active Learning and Stochastic Convex Optimization

Carnegie Mellon University（卡内基梅隆大学）

Interesting theoretical associations have been established by recent papers between the fields of active learning and stochastic convex optimization due to the common role of feedback in sequential querying mechanisms. In this paper, we continue this thread in two parts by exploiting these relations for the first time to yield novel algorithms in both fields, further motivating the study of their intersection. First, inspired by a recent optimization algorithm that was adaptive to unknown uniform convexity parameters, we present a new active learning algorithm for one-dimensional thresholds th…

Optimal queueing-based rebalancing for one-way electric carsharing systems with stochastic demand

Viability of electric vehicle car sharing operations depends on rebalancing algorithms. Earlier methods in the literature suggest a trend toward Markovian stochastic demand with server relocation with queueing constraints. We propose a new model formulation based on a node-charge graph structure that extends the relocation model to include transshipment relocation flows. Computational tests with up to 1000 node (and 4000 node-charges) suggest promising avenues for further study.
