Sensitivity Analysis in Two-Stage DEA

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) which uses a set of inputs to produce a set of outputs. In some cases, DMUs have a two-stage structure, in which the first stage utilizes inputs to produce outputs used as the inputs of the second stage to produce final outputs. One important issue in two-stage DEA is the sensitivity of...

Modeling Blackout Dynamics in Power Transmission Networks with Simple Structure

A model for blackouts in electric power transmission systems is implemented and studied in simple networks with a regular structure. The model describes load demand and network improvements evolving on a slow timescale as well as the fast dynamics of cascading overloads and outages. The model dynamics are demonstrated on the simple power system networks. The dynamics depend weakly on the networ...

Efficient Transmission Line Modeling Sensitivity Analysis Exploiting Rubber Cells

The adjoint variable method is applied for the first time to perform sensitivity analysis with transmission line modeling exploiting rubber cells. Rubber cells allow for the conformal modeling of off-grid boundaries in the transmission line modeling computational domain using modified tensor properties. The scattering matrix of the rubber cell is analytically dependent on the dimensions of the ...

Mixed two-stage derivative estimator for sensitivity analysis

In mathematical modeling, determining most influential parameters on outputs is of major importance. Thus, sensitivity analysis of parameters plays an important role in model validation. We give detailed procedure of constructing a new derivative estimator for general performance measure in Gaussian systems. We will take advantage of using score function and measure-value derivative estimators ...
