Descending to Stability: Robust Power Control for Stochastic Wireless Networks

Reactive power compensation is an important challenge in current and future smart power systems. However, in the context of reactive power compensation, most existing studies assume that customers can assess their compensation value, i.e., Var unit, objectively. In this paper, customers are assumed to make decisions that pertain to reactive power coordination. In consequence, the way in which t...

Systems have traditionally been analyzed assuming only one player, i.e. the defender maximizing system reliability facing exogenously fixed factors related to technology, nature, weather, culture, etc. After the September 11, 2001 attack realizations emerge that whereas one set of players work to ensure system reliability, another set of players oppose system reliability. This paper thus provid...

In a competitive electricity market with substantial involvement of renewable electricity, maximizing profits by optimizing bidding strategies is crucial to different power producers including conventional power plants and renewable ones. This paper proposes a game-theoretic bidding optimization method based on bi-level programming, where power producers are at the upper level and utility compa...

A major challenge in operation of wireless communications systems is the efficient use of radio resources. One important component of radio resource management is power control, which has been studied extensively in the context of voice communications. With increasing demand for wireless data services, it is necessary to establish power control algorithms for information sources other than voic...

Many multiagent domains where cooperation among agents is crucial to achieving a common goal can be modeled as coalitional games. However, in many of these domains, agents are unequal in their power to affect the outcome of the game. Prior research on weighted voting games has explored power indices, which reflect how much “real power” a voter has. Although primarily used for voting games, thes...
