    This paper deals with the modeling of stochastic processes in long-term multistage energy planning problems when little information is available on the degree of uncertainty of such processes. Starting from simple estimates of variation intervals for uncertain parameters, such as energy demands and costs, we model the temporal correlation of these parameters through autoregressive (AR) … Read more

    Reaching Paris Agreement Goal through CDR/DAC Development: a Compact OR Model

    • Categories Civil and Environmental Engineering Tags , , , ,

    A compact operations research (OR) model is proposed to analyse the prospects of meeting the Paris Agreement targets when direct air capture technologies can be used or not. The main features of the model are (i) the representation of the economy and energy use with a nested constant elasticity of substitution production function; (ii) the … Read more

    Assessment of Climate Agreements over the Long Term with Strategic Carbon Dioxyde Removal Activity

    In this paper we extend a game theoretic meta-model used to assess the future of Paris agreement to the time horizon 2100 and we include in the strategic decisions of the negotiating coalitions the use of Carbon Dioxyde Removal (CDR) technologies. The meta-game model is calibrated through statistical emulation of GEMINI-E3, a world computable general … Read more

    Decision support for strategic energy planning: a complete robust optimization framework

    • Categories Robust Optimization

    This paper presents a complete robust optimization framework to deal with a large range of uncertainties in optimization-based energy models. Robust formulations are proposed to address specific features of long- term energy models – such as multiplied uncertain parameters in the objective and many uncertainties in the constraints. Then, we introduce an original approach to … Read more

    Meta-Modeling to Assess the Possible Future of Paris Agreement

    • Categories Game Theory Tags , , , , , ,

    In the meta-modeling approach one builds a numerically tractable dynamic optimization or game model in which the parameters are identified through statistical emulation of a detailed large scale numerical simulation model. In this paper we show how this approach can be used to assess the economic impacts of possible climate policies compatible with the Paris … Read more

    NeatWork is an advanced optimization and simulation tool for the design of purely gravity-driven water distribution systems aiming at delivering clean water to poor rural communities. The exclusion of any adjustable devices, such as pumps and valves, for controlling pressures and flows is motivated by two main reasons: firstly, the system should be as simple … Read more

    Energy Technology Environment Model with Smart Grid and Robust Nodal Electricity Prices

  • Frédéric Babonneau
  • Alain Haurie
    • Categories Applications - OR and Management Sciences, Applications - Science and Engineering

    This paper deals with the modeling of power flow in a transmission grid within the multi-sectoral multi-energy long-term regional energy model ETEM-SG. This extension of the model allows a better representation of demand response for flexible loads triggered by nodal marginal cost pricing. To keep the global model in the realm of linear program- ming … Read more

    Energy Security: a robust optimization approach to design a robust European energy supply via TIAM

    • Categories Robust Optimization Tags , , ,

    Energy supply routes to a given TIAM region (say E.U.) are subject to randomness, resulting in partial or total closure of a route (corridor). For instance: a pipeline may be subject to technical problems that reduce its capacity. Or, oil supply by tanker may be reduced for political reasons or because of equipment mishaps at … Read more

    Robust capacity expansion solutions for telecommunication networks with uncertain demands

  • Jean-Philippe Vial
    • Categories Network Optimization, Robust Optimization, Telecommunications Tags , ,

    We consider the capacity planning of telecommunication networks with linear investment costs and uncertain future traffic demands. Transmission capacities must be large enough to meet, with a high quality of service, the range of possible demands, after adequate routings of messages on the created network. We use the robust optimization methodology to balance the need … Read more
