Continuous Reinforcement Algorithm and Robust Economic Dispatching-Based Spot Electricity Market Modeling considering Strategic Behaviors of Wind Power Producers and Other Particip... by Zhenyu Zhao, Shuguang Yuan, Qingyun Nie, Weishang Guo

“…Because the gradient descent continuous actor-critic algorithm is demonstrated as an effective method in dealing with Markov’s decision-making problems with continuous state and action spaces and the robust economic dispatch model can optimize the permitted real-time wind power deviation intervals based on wind power producers’ bidding power output, in this paper, considering bidding interactions among wind power producers and other participants, we propose a gradient descent continuous actor-critic algorithm-based hour-ahead electricity market modeling approach with the robust economic dispatch model embedded. …”

Nonlinear compressive reduced basis approximation for PDE’s by Cohen, Albert, Farhat, Charbel, Maday, Yvon, Somacal, Agustin

“…These methods, such as the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) or Reduced Basis (RB) methods, are very effective when the family of solutions has fast-decaying Karhunen–Loève eigenvalues or Kolmogorov widths, reflecting the approximability by finite-dimensional linear spaces. On the other hand, they become ineffective when these quantities have a slow decay, in particular for families of solutions to hyperbolic transport equations with parameter-dependent shock positions. …”
