Massive adoptions of combined heat and power (CHP) units necessitate the coordinated operation system district heating (DHS). Exploiting reconfigurable property networks (DHNs) provides a potentially cost-effective solution to enhance flexibility by readjusting configuration for supply, which has not been addressed in literature. To address this issue, unit commitment considering electricity ne...

We define the BQS-UCmodel, a variant of the UCmodel, that deals with protocols in the bounded quantum storage model. We present a statistically secure commitment protocol in the BQS-UC model that composes concurrently with other protocols and an (a-priori) polynomially-bounded number of instances of itself. Our protocol has an efficient simulator which is important if one wishes to compose our ...
