Abstract: (报告内容)
Many states in the U.S. have set aggressive objectives on the fraction of
generation from renewable sources that are inherently random and nondispatchable. This talk presents my research efforts in designing incentives to
induce the desired response in demand so as to absorb the variability in power
supplied from intermittent renewable sources.
In this talk, we focus particularly on the design of market mechanisms for enduse devices whose energy demand is inherently deferrable in time. We propose
a novel forward market for deadline-differentiated services, where consumers
consent to deferred service of pre-specified loads in exchange for a reduced
per-unit energy price. We explicitly characterize a joint scheduling and pricing
scheme that yields an efficient competitive equilibrium between supply and
demand. Somewhat surprisingly, we show that this efficient scheduling and
pricing scheme is incentive compatible, in that every consumer would like to
reveal her true deadline to the supplier, regardless of the actions taken by other
consumers.
Short Bio: (报告人简介)
Yunjian Xu received his PhD degree at MIT in 2012, under the supervision of
John N. Tsitsiklis. Before joining the Singapore University of Technology and
Design as an assistant professor, he worked as a postdoctoral scholar in the Center
for the Mathematics of Information at California Institute of Technology for one
year.
His research interests lie in energy systems and markets, with emphasis on the
economics of price-responsive demand and the dynamic scheduling of storagecapable loads. He is a recipient of the MIT-Shell Energy Fellowship.
