In this paper we are interested in the dynamics and numerical treatment of a rolling disk on a flat support. The objective of the paper is to develop a numerical model which is able to simulate the dynamics of a rolling disk taking into account various kinds a friction models (resistance against sliding, pivoting and rolling). A mechanical model of a rolling disk is presented in the framework o...

We develop an emission permits trading model where covered firms can (1) utilize rolling planning horizons to deal with uncertainty and (2) exhibit bounded responsiveness supply-side control policies. calibrate the reproduce annual market outcomes in EU ETS over 2008–2018 show that a finite horizon reconciles banking dynamics discount rates implied by futures contracts’ yield curves. It also re...

The concept of nearly zero energy (nZE) or sustainable buildings is prominently featured in the EU's strategy. However, transitioning to envisioned era “smartness” and “sustainability” involves overcoming several technoeconomic barriers: difference nature between different building archetypes, simultaneous management daily yearly objectives by system (EMS), impact on distribution grids required...

Accurate forecasting is a crucial task for energy management systems (EMSs) used in microgrids. Despite models destined to EMSs having been largely investigated, the analysis of criteria practical execution this task, framework an algorithm, has not properly investigated yet. On such basis, paper aims at exploring effect daily frequency on performance rolling-horizon devised reduce demand uncer...

This paper analyzes a connection between risk-sensitive and minimax criteria for discrete-time, nite-states Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). We synthesize optimal policies with respect to both criteria, both for nite horizon and discounted in nite horizon problem. A generalized decision-making framework is introduced, which includes as special cases a number of approaches that have been consid...
