Adaptive robust optimization (ARO) is a well-known technique to deal with the parameter uncertainty in problems. While ARO framework can actually be borrowed solve some special problems without uncertain parameters, such as power flexibility aggregation problem studied this paper. To effectively harness significant from massive distributed energy resources (DERs), performed for distribution sys...

This paper proposes a dynamic model of solar-based micro-cogeneration system called photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collector to perform design optimization the multi-stage PVT system. The parametric study reveals most important parameters influencing water-based flat-plate performance. analysis also shows an existing trade-off between thermal and electrical efficiencies during operation. A novel ex...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a surrogate model-assisted optimization algorithm which effectively searches for the optimum at the earliest opportunity, avoiding the need for a large initial experimental design, which may be wasteful. Design/methodology/approach – The methodologies of two-stage and one-stage selection of points are combined for the first time. After creating ...
