Course main content. The course mixes theoretical sessions, modeling exercises and computer sessions.
In introduction, we present examples of micro-grid and virtual power plant management -- where the question of electrical storage is put, due to the need to answer a varying demand and to incorporate intermittent and highly variable renewable energies. During the course, we will present concepts and tools to formulate such problems as stochastic dynamic optimization problems. For this purpose, the first sessions are dedicated to mathematical recalls in probability and optimization, followed by an introduction to the scientific software Scicoslab.
Then, we turn to stochastic optimization. In a deterministic optimization problem, the values of all parameters are supposed known. What happens when this is no longer the case? And when some values are revealed during the stages of decision? We present stochastic optimization, at the same time as a frame to formulate problems under uncertainty, and as methods to solve them according to the formulation. More precisely, we present two-stage stochastic programming (and the resolution on scenario tree or by scenarios) and multi-stage stochastic control (and the resolution by stochastic dynamic programming). We finish with the Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming (SDDP) algorithm (used in commercial software in the world of the energy), which mixes dynamic programming and cutting plane algorithm. Depending on time availability, we will try to shed light on decomposition methods that lead to decentralized optimization (especially adapted to micro-grid management).
Modeling exercises and computer sessions tackle issues like optimal economic dispatch of energy production units, storage/delivery optimization problem to buffer an intermittent and variable source of energy, dam optimal management with stochastic water inflows, battery optimal management with renewable energy inputs.
Examination and requirements for final grade. At the end of each computer session, the student produces a report, which receives a mark after evaluation. Mini-exams, presence and participation also contribute to the final grade.
