Recently, I published a paper on marketing energy flexibility, available in groups of Photovoltaic (PV)-battery-storage systems, in the Day-ahead (whole-sale) electricity market. This paper is part of the Flex+ project: https://www.flexplus.at/. Such optimization problem consists of two subproblems: a) which amounts of energy should we trade over the next day (usually in 15min granularity), b)... Continue Reading →

Electricity Demand Response using the Day-ahead market
Recently, and as part of the Flex+ FFG Project in Austria, we have conducted research with respect to the energy exchange that Photovoltaic-Battery systems (usually available in residential buildings) can provide to the Day-ahead electricity market (in the form of 15-min interval schedules). The results of this research have now been published at the Energy... Continue Reading →
Artificial Intelligence and 5G Technologies in future Integrated Energy Systems
I would like to take the opportunity to mention an interesting workshop that took place in last spring on the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology, focusing on the role of Artificial Intelligence and 5G Technologies in future Energy Systems. The goal of the workshop was to give an overview of the state of... Continue Reading →
Perturbed Learning Automata (Presentation at JKU, Linz)
On May 3rd, 2019, I gave a presentation at Johannes Kepler University in Linz (see announcement) on recent developments on Perturbed Learning Automata. This is a type of learning automata learning dynamics first introduced by G. Chasparis and J. Shamma in paper and has been recently extended by G. Chasparis in paper. Special attention is...

The Flex+ project
Flex+ aims at the development of concepts and methodologies for direct control of flexibility components in groups of residential buildings. Such flexibility components may include technologies such as heat pumps, boilers, battery-storage systems or electric vehicles. In particular, an aggregator is responsible for directly controlling one or more of these technologies and optimizes the amount... Continue Reading →
The RePhrase Project
This is a short note to introduce the RePhrase Project, an H2020 EU-funded project on Refactoring Parallel Heterogeneous Resource-Aware Applications. A short abstract is provided below, while the interested reader may find more information at http://rephrase-ict.eu/ Overview: The focus of the RePhrase project is on producing new software engineering tools, techniques and methodologies for developing...
