    The decarbonization of energy systems is an essential component of global climate mitigation, yet such transitions involve substantial capital requirements, ongoing technological progress, and the operational complexities of renewable integration. This study presents a dynamic strategic planning framework that applies multi-stage stochastic programming to guide clean electricity transitions for distributed energy systems. The model jointly … Read more

    In recent years, the transition to clean bus fleets has accelerated. Although this transition might bring environmental and economic benefits, it requires a long-term strategic plan due to the large investment costs involved. This paper proposes a multi-stage stochastic program to optimize strategic plans for the clean bus fleet transition that explicitly considers the uncertainty … Read more

    In this paper, we study the Multi-Period Optimal Power Flow problem (MOPF) with electric vehicles (EV) under emission considerations. We integrate three different real-world datasets: household electricity consumption, marginal emission factors, and EV driving profiles. We present a systematic solution approach based on second-order cone programming to find globally optimal solutions for the resulting nonconvex … Read more
