Wang, Xinyue. "Optimizing customer satisfaction and energy costs for flow shop scheduling". Electronic Thesis or Diss., université Paris-Saclay, 2024. https://www.biblio.univ-evry.fr/theses/2024/interne/2024UPASG080.pdf.
Texto completoMulti-agent and time-of-use (ToU) tariff of electricity related scheduling problems have become hot research topics in production scheduling to improve customer satisfaction and balance electricity supply and demand.Existing works reveal that: 1) most multi-agent scheduling focuses on bi-agent problems; 2) most scheduling research under ToU tariffs addresses single and parallel machine, or simplified shop environments; and 3) very few studies consider real-world assumptions, such as dynamic job arrivals and customer-desired due dates.To bridge these research gaps, this thesis investigates three new flow shop scheduling problems which successively integrates the aspect of multi-agent and ToU tariffs, considering practical assumptions such as release dates, due dates and maintenance activities. Firstly, a multi-agent FSS problem with release dates under two scanerios is addressed. The objective is to minimize the total completion time of the agents and the maximum lateness. To obtain an optimal solution for small-size instances, a branch-and-bound (B&B) algorithm combining lower bounds and pruning strategies is developed. For medium-size instances, a co-evolutionary algorithm incorporating reinforcement learning techniques is proposed to obtain near-optimal solutions. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.Secondly, a bi-objective FSS problem under ToU tariffs is investigated. The objective is to find the best trad-off between the total electricity cost and the maximum lateness. Based on problem analysis, valid inequalities are designed to to reduce the search space. And then, an ε-constraint method combining maximum step size and inversion strategy is proposed to obtain the Pareto front. For medium- and large-size instances, a two-stage fruit fly optimization algorithm is applied to obtain an approximate Pareto front. The performance of the proposed algorithms is evaluated through various numerical experiments.Finally, a bi-objective multi-agent FSS problem under ToU tariffs is studied. The objective is to simultaneously minimize the total completion time of agents and the total electricity cost. A new B&B algorithm is designed for the problem, in which a two-node branching strategy and pruning rules are provided to effectively reduce the computational time. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by comparing the results proposed by a commercial solver CPLEX

Texto completoOpening the electricity market to competition requires the unbundling of the links production – transport, the transport activity being still regulated. Due to strong network externalities the notion of transport services goes behind the simple accounting framework. These externalities could be priced in real time at each node. This way the coordination of exchanges could be achieved through economic costs borne by the network’s users and not only through accounting costs or arbitrary commercial contracts. There are 2 organizational models opposing each other : a centralized model and a decentralized one. A centralized organization model is characterized by an unique company coordinating both the technical and economical questions and in charge of the pool centralizing the transactions, redistributing the misallocated resources resulting from the constraints linked to the network and guaranteing the transport rights on the supplied capacities. On the other hand, in the decentralized organization model, the economical function is separated from the technical function. Their coordination occurs through a minimum exchange of information between the network’s provider and the actors. These models provide adequate frameworks to define the competition rules given the decentralised nature of the actors’s decisions. Nonethesless they do not solve the question of the market power tentamount to the new structure’s success relying on flexibility and liquidity. In the centralized model, the actors react passively to the resources’ transfert therefore leading to tacit collusion between suppliers. The decentralized model takes into account the strategic nature of the actors’ behavior but the associated transaction costs are too high. To that regard, an intermediary solution like the « flowgates » could offer a suitable alternative. It would also be appropriate to phase up the heavy regulations relying on imperfect measure of competition and to implement instead incentive schemes favoring competitive behavior

Texto completoThe political price of public entreprises is subjected to political-economic objectives or then a norm is presented as a reference point to enable economic analysis, and the norm is a mecanism for that analysis? to answer this question there is a decision to determine the mode of reasoning between individuel concepts which underlie traditional theory of the optium, and that which permits the best description of the fonctioning of a dual economic system. The origin of the problem of the "second best" will be found in the lack of political-economic instruments. An attempt at modernization is a result of theoretical analysis which is applied in the case of the "egypt electricity organisation" to study the augmentation of tariffs which were in effect in 1982

Texto completoCertain crucial financial time series, such as the interconnected european electricity market spot prices, exhibit long memory, in the sense of slowly decaying correlations combined with heteroskedasticity and periodic or none cycles. In modeling such behavior, we consider on one hand, the k factor GIGARCH process and additionally propose two methods to address the related parameter estimation problem. In each method, we explore the asymptotic theory for estimation. Moreover, the asymptotic properties are validated and compared via Monte Carlo simulations. On the other hand, we introduce a new multivariate long memory generalized model (kfactor MVGARMA) in order to model interconnected european electricity market spot prices. We sugger a practical framework to address the parameter estimation problem. We investigate the analytical expressions of the least squares predictors for the two proposed models and their confidence intervals. To finish, we apply the two proposed models to the french and german electricity market spot prices and a comparison is made between their forecasting abilities

Texto completoMarginal cost pricing theory date since the wole of j. Dupuit. Hotelling provided a comprehensive review of work on the subject up to the 1940s. But the development of theory, specially for application in the electric power sector received a shong impetus from the work of boiteux and steiwer in the 1950s. The definition of marginal cost when warket imperfections accurlike the in congo - induces some requirements. In the first stage of calculating the marginal cost, the objective of economic efficiency in setting tarifs is satisfed, because the method is based on future economic resource costs and incorporats economic considerations such as stradow plices. In the second stage of developing a tarif based on marginal cost, deviations from the stict marginal cost are conssidered to wret important financial, social, economic (second best), and political criteria

Texto completoThe electricity market is an interesting paradox. Although it has been open to competition since 1996, the visible hand of the state has not disappeared. In fact, while the increasing application of competition law to this market aims to ensure that the principles it embodies reign supreme, foremost among which the free setting of prices, the electricity market resists. The existence of several regulated tariffs (TURPE, TRVE, TOA, ARENH tariff) perfectly illustrate this. This research first analyses the legal justification for maintaining these tariffs in a liberalised market. The aim is to understand whether there is any legal justification for maintaining these tariffs and if any changes to the legal regime applicable to these tariffs have been necessary. The second part of this research is devoted to analysing whether the maintenance of these tariffs could not be affected by the changes taking place in this market. These changes include the finalisation of the liberalisation of the sector and the energy transition

Texto completoIn this thesis, we study mathematical models for the representation of prices on the electricity markets, from the viewpoints of statistics of random processes and optimal stochastic control. In a first part, we perform estimation of the components of the volatility coefficient of a multidimensional diffusion process, which represents the evolution of prices in the electricity forward market. It is driven by two Brownian motions. We aim at achieving estimation efficiently in terms of convergence rate and, concerning the parametric part of those components, in terms of limit law. To do so, we must extend the usual notion of efficiency in the Cramér-Rao sense. Our estimation methods are based on realized quadratic variation of the observed process. In a second part, we add model error terms to the previous model, in order to tare for some kind of degeneration occurring in it as soon as the dimension of the observed process is greater than two. Our estimation methods are still based on realized quadratic variation, and we give other tools in order to keep on estimating the volatility components with the optimal rate when error terms are present. Then, numerical tests provide us with some evidence that such errors are present in the data. Finally, we solve the problem of a producer, which trades on the electricity intraday market in order to tope with the uncertainties on the outputs of his production units. We assume that there is market impact, so that the producer influences prices as he trades. The price and the forecast of the consumers' demand are modelled by jump diffusions. We use the tools of optimal stochastic control to determine the strategy of the producer in an approximate problem. We give conditions so that this strategy is close to optimality in the original problem, as well as numerical illustrations of that strategy

Texto completoWe look at how prices from energy-only power markets can send the right signals and give the correct incentives for investments in production capacity. Through numerical simulations of spot prices over 2003-2005 we compare the investment signal sent by observed electricity prices in France and what would be competitive prices with an optimal mix and with the installed capacity. The observed prices tend to overestimate profitability for the baseload and underestimate profitability for the peak load. However, as a large share of consumers is still paying regulated tariffs, scarcity rents are capped. We simulate future prices for France for 2010 to 2020 to understand the incentives to invest. When the entry is free, the incentives to invest given by the future prices are consistent with the optimal mix including the interconnections and nuclear build is strong. With barriers for new entrants (i. E. Finding new sites), there are no incentives for the incumbent to add more nuclear capacity unless units are bid strategically. Moreover, it can also be profitable to limit prices and entry in order to increase future revenues. When the baseload is less concentrated and instead of a dominant firm the nuclear capacity is divided into five (equal share) firms, incentives to invest reappear

Texto completoThe objective of this thesis is to develop and study mathematical models of economical exchanges between energy suppliers and consumers, using demand-side management. On one hand, the suppliers offer time-of-use electricity prices. On the other hand, energy consumers decide on their energy demand schedule, minimizing their electricity bill and the inconvenience due to schedule changes. This problem structure gives rise to bilevel optimization problems.Three kinds of models are studied. First, single-leader single-follower problems modeling the interaction between an energy supplier and a smart grid operator. In this first approach, the level of details is very high on the follower’s side, and notably includes a stochastic treatment of distributed generation. Second, a multi-leader multi-follower problem is studied from the point of view of the best response of one of the suppliers. Aggregators are included in the lower level. Two new resolution methods based on a selection of Nash equilibriums at the lower level are proposed. In the third and final part, the focus is on the evaluation of noncooperative equilibriums for this multi-leader multi-follower problem.All the problems have been studied both from a theoretical and numerical point of view

Texto completoThis thesis focuses on the proposal of a decentralized approach for managing energy demand in the context of smart grids. The main objective is to promote energy savings and the use of clean energy resources, while encouraging users to actively participate in demand management. In this regard, controlling energy consumption becomes a priority. It applies at several levels from the neighborhood to the city. The work presented in this thesis falls within this framework. We first present a modeling of the various behaviors of the agents present within the energy market, based on game theory while taking into account several constraints such as the heterogeneity of producers and consumers present, and the spatial and temporal constraints. Then, we try to meet their needs by: (1) optimizing the demand for energy (from consumers’ side who themselves become energy producers through the integration of renewable energies) and (2) its price (from producers’ side). Finally, we propose distributed algorithms shared between players to achieve a stable state of the game. Comparisons with conventional scenarios known in this field have shown the effectiveness of our contributions

Texto completoThis thesis explores the recent evolutions of photovoltaics in France, and in particular the rise of grid-connected photovoltaics as it was triggered by support policies set up in the 2000s. The chosen actor-network theory approach leads to a material and relational description of French photovoltaics as a modular technology whose development was driven by political prices in the shape of feed-in tariffs for PV-generated electricity. From this perspective, the intertwinement of technological evolutions, market-making and politicisation is interrogated. After suggesting a description of photovoltaics as emergent modular technologies and of feed-in tariffs as political market agencements, the thesis analyses the interwoven trajectories of feed-in tariffs and photovoltaics in three sites. First, it traces back the constitions of feed-in tariffs as a dominant form of support to photovoltaics in the context of the development of a European Policy for renewable energy. It then zooms on the French case, where the overflowing of the regulated photovoltaic market triggered a political crisis and led to the reconsideration of photovoltaic support schemes. The last case study is a material exploration of the constitution of feed-in tariffs photovoltaic market triggered a political crisis and led to the reconsideration of photovoltaic support schemes. The last case study is a material exploration of the constitution of feed-in tariffs for PV-generated electricity into an opportunity and a resource for territorial development in the context of a project developed by a rural cooperative in the South-West of France
Cheng, Junheng. "Multi-criteria batch scheduling under time-of-use tariffs". Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017SACLE035.
Texto completoThe industrial sector is the largest consumer of the world's total energy and most of its consumption form is electricity. To strengthen the grid's peak load regulation ability, time-of-use (TOU) electricity pricing policy has been implemented in many countries to encourage electricity users to shift their consumption from on-peak periods to off-peak periods. This strategy provides a good opportunity for manufacturers to reduce their energy bills, especially for energy-intensive ones, where batch scheduling is often involved. In this thesis, several bi-objective batch scheduling problems under TOU tariffs are studied. We first investigate a single machine batch scheduling problem under TOU tariffs with the objectives of minimizing total electricity cost and makespan. This primary work is extended by further considering machine on/off switching. Finally, a parallel batch machines scheduling problem under TOU tariffs with non-identical job sizes to minimize total electricity cost and number of enabled machines is studied. For each of the considered problems, appropriate mathematical models are established, their complexities are demonstrated. Different bi-objective resolution methods are developed, including knapsack problem heuristic based ɛ-constraint method, multiple knapsack problem heuristic based ɛ-constraint method, bin packing heuristic based ɛ-constraint method and two-stage heuristic based iterative search algorithm. The performance of the proposed methods is evaluated by randomly generated instances. Extensive numerical results show that the proposed algorithms are more efficient and/or effective for the studied problems than the commercial software CPLEX

Texto completoThe objective of this thesis is to answer to three questions raised by the wave of reform in electricity industries: has retail liberalization achieved its objectives in European Union? How traditional and renewable generators compete in a liberalized market? What is the impact on congestion and zonal price differences of increased production from renewable intermittent sources in Italy? The first chapter provides a mid-term evaluation of liberalization of electricity retailing in Europe. We propose a comprehensive theory on retail liberalization and test its consistency with the practice in European Union. The analysis highlights the presence of an oligopolistic supply structure, a limited level of customer engagement in the market and asymmetries in the rate and speed of cost-pass through. The attribution of the Default/Last Resort service through an auction mechanism seems the best solution to favor the development of competition. In the second chapter we study the strategic interactions between a traditional generation technology and a renewable one characterized by an intermittent availability of capacity. We employ a modified version of the Dixit model for entry deterrence with two post entry competition settings: the Cournot framework in a two stage game and the dominant firm-competitive fringe setting in a three stage game. In both cases, the analysis suggests that the renewable generator exploits the merit order rule to crowd out the production of its rival. In the third chapter we analyze the impact of renewable generation on congestion and zonal price differences in Italy. Using a unique database we estimate two econometric models on five zonal pairings: a multinomial logit model for the occurrence and direction of congestion and an OLS model for the size of paired-price differences. The analysis shows that in an importing region the effect of a larger local renewable supply is to decrease (increase) the probability of congestion in entry (exit). Increasing renewable generation seems to have a significant impact on the islander zones, decreasing (increasing) the level of positive (negative) price differences

Texto completoThe two last centuries have witnessed an exceptional revolution in the organization of electric power markets worldwide. The industry's organization has changed from vertically integrated monopolies under regulation to unbundled structures that favor market mechanisms; known as reform process in Europe. The shift to reliance on market prices, given concentrated structures and particular characteristics of electricity industry, raises a possibility that some firms could influence the market prices by exercising their market power. The issues of "market power" in a given industry have been abundantly employed in the literatureof Industrial Organization since the late 1970s but theoretical and empirical studies of "market power in electricity markets" have only been developed recently. In this thesis, we attempt to carry out an insight research around market power questions in deregulated wholesale electricity markets in Europe, as regarding the way of defining and measuring it. We carry out empirical studies in two of the biggest liberalized electricity markets in Europe: France (2009-2012's data) and Germany (2011's data), using econometric regressions and electricity simulation models as main methodologies. The subject is particularly relevant inthe context of energy transition in Europe (transition energetique in France and Energiewende in Germany)

Texto completoThe Act of 8 April 1946 nationalized electricity in France and created a new public monopoly, Électricité de France. A small group of people, mainly from the corps des Ponts-et-Chaussées, was assembled to provide the public utility with a pricing policy. Marcel Boiteux, Gabriel Dessus et Pierre Massé, to mention only a few names, thought they would apply to the power sector the best economic theory of their time, Maurice Allais’ théorie du rendement social. The theory claimed that marginal cost pricing would bring the power sector to a state of maximum efficiency, that it would help governing the sector according to the public interest, and solve rationally the issue of nationalization and its aims. But the story turned out to be quite different. Pricing electricity did not mean applying to the sector the laws of efficiency through transfers of necessities. Rather, in a tentative, partial, progressive, often contradictory manner, the work allowed to describe and thus discuss possible exploitation projects. I propose to term this process the formulation of the optimum. Identifying such a process, I suggest, might contribute to the debate on the status of economics, the kind of truth it produces, and what we can expect from it, especially when it is closely associated with political decision making
Hernández, Santibáñez Nicolás Iván. "Contributions to the principal-agent theory and applications in economics". Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PSLED086.
Texto completoIn this thesis, theoretical aspects and applications in economics of the Principal-Agent model are studied.The first part of the thesis presents two applications of the model. In the first one, an electricity provider determines the optimal tariff of consumption for its clients. Population is heterogeneous and the provider observes perfectly the consumption of the clients. This leads to a setting of adverse selection without moral hazard. The problem of the Principal writes as a non-standard variational problem, which can be solved under certain particular forms of the reservation utility of the population. The optimal contracts obtained are either linear or polynomial with respect to the consumption and the electricity provider contractsonly consumers with either low or high appetite for electricity.In the second application, a bank monitors a pool of identical loans subject to Markovian contagion. The bank raises funds from an investor, who cannot observe the actions of the bank and neither knows his ability to do the job. This is an extension of the model of Pagès and Possamaï [84] to the case of both moral hazard and adverse selection. Following the approach of Cvitanić, Wan and Yang [31] to these problems, the dynamic credible set is computed explicitly and the value function of the investor is obtained through a recursive system of variational inequalities. The properties of the optimal contracts are discussed in detail.In the second part of the thesis, the problem of an Agent controlling the drift of a diffusion process under volatility uncertainty is studied. It is assumed that the Principal and the Agent have a worst–case approach to the problem and they act as if a third player, the Nature, was choosing the worst possible volatility. This work is an extension to Mastrolia and Possamaï [64] and Sung [125] to a more general framework. It is proved that the value function of the agent can be represented as the solution to a second–order BSDE, and also that the value function of the Principal corresponds to the unique viscosity solution of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs equation, given that the latter satisfies a comparison result

Texto completoAs a developing country with surging demand in electricity, Vietnam has implemented demand-side management in the residential electricity market, such as increasing block tariffs to balance the tension between energy security and the development of clean technology. The implementation of demand-side management requires a deep understanding of customer behaviors and household demand. The thesis aims to explore the factors impacting on Vietnamese residential electricity demand in the period of 2012–16. The exploration focuses on four main factors: prices, income, demographics (including household size and composition), and heatwaves. The data are a pool data set and a panel data set which have been constructed from the three rounds of the micro survey Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey (VHLSS) in 2012, 2014 and 2016.The thesis has two novel points in estimating household electricity demand function.First, it uses micro survey data at national level, with detailed tariff structures and private electricity billing. In the past, researches have often used national aggregate data or national micro survey data with imputed quantity or price. Researches that use micro survey data with detail tariff schedules and electricity bills are often at a regional level rather than at a national level due to the absence of national data on tariff structures. The residential electricity market in Vietnam is a monopoly with a single seller, Vietnam Electricity (EVN). Electricity tariff schedules are proposed by EVN and set by the Government and are thus uniform in national scale. This provides a chance to estimate demand function from national micro survey data, with full detail of electricity prices and billings.Second, the thesis proposes a new way to capture the impact of high temperature on electricity demand. That is, to include an additional dummy variable to represent the extreme distribution of temperature. The additional dummy variable is a complement to the concept of cooling degree days which is a popular representation of temperature in previous researches.The estimate results lead to five main conclusions. (i) Households do respond to marginal prices and demand is elastic to price. (ii) There exists an income threshold from which household electricity consumption increases as income increases. The electricity consumption of households in the income group is the reference level of electricity poverty threshold. (iii) The increasing block tariff does not cancel out economies of scale in electricity expenditure of households. (iv) There is no difference in electricity expenditure across children, adults and elders. (v) Heatwaves – a climate change related phenomenon – do have impacts on electricity demand and need to be addressed carefully in estimating electricity demand in the future
