2 The PIES Model (Hogan) min x s.t. c T x Ax = d(p) Bx = b x 0 cost balance technical constr Issue is that p is the multiplier on the balance constraint of LP Extended Mathematical Programming (EMP) facilitates annotations of models to describe additional structure Can solve the problem by writing down the KKT conditions of this LP, forming an LCP and exposing p to the model EMP does this automatically from the annotations Ferris (Wisconsin) MOPEC SSC 2 / 24

3 Reformulation details empinfo: dualvar p balance replaces µ p 0 = Ax d(p) µ 0 = Bx b λ 0 A T µ B T λ + c x 0 LCP/MCP is then solvable using PATH p z = λ, F (z) = x A T B T A p d(p) B λ + b x c Ferris (Wisconsin) MOPEC SSC 3 / 24

4 Transmission Line Expansion Model (F./Tang) 1 min x X π ω ω i N d ω i p ω i (x) Nonlinear system to describe power flows over (large) network Multiple time scales Dynamics (bidding, failures, ramping, etc) Uncertainty (demand, weather, expansion, etc) p ω i (x): Price (LMP) at i in scenario ω as a function of x Use other models to construct approximation of p ω i (x) Ferris (Wisconsin) MOPEC SSC 4 / 24

5 Solution approach Use derivative free method for the upper level problem (1) Requires p ω i (x) Construct these as multipliers on demand equation (per scenario) in an Economic Dispatch (market clearing) model But transmission line capacity expansion typically leads to generator expansion, which interacts directly with market clearing Interface blue and black models using Nash Equilibria (as EMP): empinfo: equilibrium forall f: min expcost(f) y(f) budget(f) forall ω: min scencost(ω) q(ω)...

13 Observations But this is simply one function evaluation for the outer transmission capacity expansion problem Number of critical arcs typically very small But in this case, pj ω volatile are very Outer problem is small scale, objectives are open to debate, possibly ill conditioned Economic dispatch should use AC power flow model Structure of market open to debate Comparing the different types of objective functions LMP LMP and Generator Cost LMP with interest rate Types of generator expansion also subject to debate Suite of tools is very effective in such situations Ferris (Wisconsin) MOPEC SSC 11 / 24

14 EMP: variational inequalities Allows (GAMS) models to be manipulated to form other problems of interest via a simple EMP info file: VI(f, C): vi f x cons 0 f (x) + N C (x) generates a variational inequality where C defined by cons Either generates the equivalent complementarity (KKT) problem, or provides problem structure for algorithmic exploitation Extension of (square) nonlinear systems and mixed complementarity problems QVI can be specified in the same manner Ferris (Wisconsin) MOPEC SSC 12 / 24

23 Simple electricity system optimization problem SSP: s.t. min j T C j(v(j)) i H V i(x(i)) i H U i (u(i)) + j T v(j) d, x(i) = x 0 (i) u(i), i H u(i), v(j), x(i) 0. u(i) water release of hydro reservoir i H v(j) thermal generation of plant j T production function U i (strictly concave) converts water release to energy water level reservoir i H is denoted x(i) C j (v(j)) denote the cost of generation by thermal plant V i (x(i)) to be the future value of terminating the period with storage x (assumed separable) Ferris (Wisconsin) MOPEC SSC 18 / 24

24 SSP equivalent to CE Thermal plants solve The hydro plants i H solve TP(j): max πv(j) C j (v(j)) s.t. v 1 (j) 0. HP(i): max πu i (u(i)) + V i (x(i)) s.t. x(i) = x 0 (i) u(i) u(i), x(i) 0. Perfectly competitive (Walrasian) equilibrium is a MOPEC CE: u(i), x(i) arg max HP(i), i H, v(j) arg max TP(j), j T, 0 ( i H U i (u(i)) + j T v(j)) d π 0, Ferris (Wisconsin) MOPEC SSC 19 / 24

25 GAMS/EMP: Stochastic programming tools GAMS has extended mathematical programming tools to build models of models Given the core model, can annotate parameters as random variables Automatically solves expected value problem Can solve using deterministic equivalent or specialized solvers (including Bender s decomposition, importance sampling (DECIS), etc) Also allows for a variety of new constructs (such as risk measures and chance constraints) R ω [c 0 (x) + ] T p ωt (q ωt + qωt) + c 1 (q ωt + + qωt) t=0 Ferris (Wisconsin) MOPEC SSC 20 / 24

26 Two stage problems TP(j): max π 1 v 1 (j) C j (v 1 (j))+ R ω [π 2 (ω)v 2 (j, ω) C j (v 2 (j, ω))] s.t. v 1 (j) 0, v 2 (j, ω) 0, for all ω Ω. HP(i): max π 1 U i (u 1 (i))+ R ω [π 2 (ω)u i (u 2 (i, ω)) + V i (x 2 (i, ω))] s.t. x 1 (i) = x 0 (i) u 1 (i) + h 1 (i), x 2 (i, ω) = x 1 (i) u 2 (i, ω) + h 2 (i, ω), for all ω Ω, u 1 (i), x 1 (i) 0, u 2 (i, ω), x 2 (i, ω) 0, for all ω Ω.

27 Results Suppose every agent is risk neutral and has knowledge of all deterministic data, as well as sharing the same probability distribution for inflows. SP solution is same as CE solution Using coherent risk measure (weighted sum of expected value and conditional variance at risk), 10 scenarios for rain 1 High initial storage: risk-averse central plan (RSP) and the risk-averse competitive equilibrium (RCE) have same solution (but different to risk neutral case) 2 Low initial storage: RSP and RCE are very different. Since the hydro generator and the system do not agree on a worst-case outcome, the probability distributions that correspond to an equivalent risk neutral decision will not be common. 3 Extension: Construct MOPEC models for trading risk Ferris (Wisconsin) MOPEC SSC 22 / 24

28 What is EMP? Annotates existing equations/variables/models for modeler to provide/define additional structure equilibrium vi (agents can solve min/max/vi) bilevel (reformulate as MPEC, or as SOCP) disjunction (or other constraint logic primitives) randvar dualvar (use multipliers from one agent as variables for another) extended nonlinear programs (library of plq functions) Currently available within GAMS Ferris (Wisconsin) MOPEC SSC 23 / 24

29 Conclusions Optimization helps understand what drives a system Collections of models needed for specific decisions Modern optimization within applications requires multiple model formats, computational tools and sophisticated solvers EMP model type is clear and extensible, additional structure available to solver Uncertainty is present everywhere We need not only to quantify it, but we need to hedge/control/ameliorate it Stochastic MOPEC models capture behavioral effects (as an EMP) Policy implications addressable using Stochastic MOPEC Extended Mathematical Programming available within the GAMS modeling system Ferris (Wisconsin) MOPEC SSC 24 / 24
