Traditional electrical grid as the largest and most complex industry in the world is currently under fundamental development. According to the IEEE Std1547.4, large distribution systems can be clustered into a number of micro-grids (MGs) to facilitate the control and operation infrastructure in...

Predicting human behavior from a small amount of training examples is a challenging machine learning problem. In this thesis, we introduce the principle of maximum causal entropy, a general technique for applying information theory to decision-theoretic, game-theoretic, and control settings...

Wind tunnel test measurements to characterize the static lift and drag coefficients of airfoils used in wind turbine blades are shown to possess large uncertainties, which leads to uncertainties in the aerodynamic loads on the rotor. In this paper a rational stochastic model is proposed to...

The energy system studies include a wide range of issues from short term (e.g. real-time, hourly, daily and weekly operating decisions) to long term horizons (e.g. planning or policy making). The decision making chain is fed by input parameters which are usually subject to uncertainties. The art...

In direct marketing, customers are usually asked to take a specific action, and their responses are recorded over time and stored in a database. Based on the response data, we can estimate the number of customers who will ultimately respond, the number of responses anticipated to receive by a...

Purpose – This paper seeks to describe a new approach to analyzing critical resource investment plans, Dynamic Decision Making (DDM), an A.T. Kearney innovation based on a sophisticated modeling process that can improve the quality and transparency of decision making....
