Continued great efforts have been dedicated toward high-quality trajectory generation based on optimization methods; however, most of them do not suitably and effectively consider the situation with moving obstacles; more particularly, future position these obstacles in presence uncertainty within some possible prescribed prediction horizon. To cater to this rather major shortcoming, work shows...

This paper is concerned with chance constrained programming to deal with nonlinear optimization problems with random parameters. Specific Monte Carlo methods to evaluate the gradient and Hessian of probabilistic constraints are proposed and discussed. These methods are implemented in penalization optimization routines adapted to stochastic optimization. They are shown to reduce the computationa...

US transmission systems and wholesale electricity markets, albeit federally regulated, often span across multiple state jurisdictions. In this environment, regulators can strategically exploit techno-economic coupling to advance their clean energy policy goals at the expense of neighboring This paper investigates strategic regulatory competition understand its effect on achieving Renewable Port...
