24 Results Suppose every agent is risk neutral and has knowledge of all deterministic data, as well as sharing the same probability distribution for inflows. SO solution is same as CE solution Using coherent risk measure (weighted sum of expected value and conditional value at risk), 10 scenarios for rain 1 High initial storage: risk-averse central plan (RSO) and the risk-averse competitive equilibrium (RCE) have same solution (but different to risk neutral case) 2 Low initial storage: RSO 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 (Univ. Wisconsin) MOPEC ICCOPT / 24

25 Contracts in MOPEC (F./Wets) Competing agents (consumers, or generators in energy market) Each agent minimizes objective independently (cost) Market prices are function of all agents activities Additional twist: model must hedge against uncertainty Facilitated by allowing contracts bought now, for goods delivered later Conceptually allows to transfer goods from one period to another (provides wealth retention or pricing of ancilliary services in energy market) Can investigate new instruments to mitigate risk, or move to system optimal solutions from equilibrium (or market) solutions Ferris (Univ. Wisconsin) MOPEC ICCOPT / 24

26 Example as MOPEC: agents solve a Stochastic Program Buy y i contracts in period 1, to deliver D(ω)y i in period 2, scenario ω Each agent i: min C(x 1 i ) + ω π ω C(x 2 i (ω)) s.t. p 1 x 1 i + vy i p 1 e 1 i (budget time 1) p 2 (ω)x 2 i (ω) p 2 (ω)(d(ω)y i + e 2 i (ω)) (budget time 2) 0 v i y i 0 (contract) 0 p 1 i ( e 1 i xi 1 ) 0 (walras 1) 0 p 2 (ω) i ( D(ω)yi + e 2 i (ω) x 2 i (ω) ) 0 (walras 2) Ferris (Univ. Wisconsin) MOPEC ICCOPT / 24

27 Observations Examples from literature solved using homotopy continuation seem incorrect - need transaction costs to guarantee solution Solution possible via disaggregation only seems possible in special cases When problem is block diagonally dominant When overall (complementarity) problem is monotone (Pang): when problem is a potential game Progressive hedging possible to decompose in these settings by agent and scenario Research challenge: develop reliable algorithms for large scale decomposition approaches to MOPEC Ferris (Univ. Wisconsin) MOPEC ICCOPT / 24

28 PJM buy/sell dynamic model Storage transfers energy over time (horizon = T ). PJM: given price path p t, determine charge q + t and discharge q t : max h t,q + t,q t T p t (qt q t + ) t=0 s.t. h t = eq t + qt 0 h t S 0 q t + Q 0 qt Q h 0, h T fixed Uses: price shaving, load shifting, transmission line deferral What about real-time storage, or different storage technologies? Ferris (Univ. Wisconsin) MOPEC ICCOPT / 24

29 Stochastic price paths (day ahead market) min x,h,q +,q c1 (x) + E ω [ T ] p ωt (q ωt + qωt) + c 2 (q ωt + + qωt) t=0 s.t. h ωt = eq + ωt q ωt 0 h ωt Sx 0 q + ωt, q ωt Qx h ω0, h ωt fixed First stage decision x: amount of storage to deploy. Second stage decision: charging strategy in face of uncertainty Ferris (Univ. Wisconsin) MOPEC ICCOPT / 24

30 Distribution of (multiple) storage types Determine storage facilities x k to build, given distribution of price paths: no entry barriers into market, etc. MOPEC: for all k solve a two stage SP k : min x k,h k,q + k,q k [ T ] ck 1 (x k) + E ω p ωt (q + ωkt q ωkt ) + c2 k (q+ ωkt + q ωkt ) t=0 s.t. h ωkt = eq + ωkt q ωkt 0 h ωkt Sx k 0 q + ωkt, q ωkt Qx k h ωk0, h ωkt fixed p ωt = f ( γ, D ωt + k (q + ωkt q ωkt ) ) Parametric function (γ) determined by regression. Storage operators react to shift in demand. Ferris (Univ. Wisconsin) MOPEC ICCOPT / 24

31 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 (Univ. Wisconsin) MOPEC ICCOPT / 24

32 Conclusions Optimization helps understand what drives a system 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 Stochastic MOPEC models capture behavioral effects (as an EMP) Policy implications addressable using MOPEC Extended Mathematical Programming available within the GAMS modeling system Modeling, optimization, statistics and computation embedded within the application domain is critical Ferris (Univ.
