SUMMARY:Seminar on Mechanism Design for the Evolving Landscape of Sustainable Power Systems
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nModern power systems are undergoing rapid transformation driven by the integration of emerging technologies\, diverse participants\, and innovative business models. These changes offer unprecedented opportunities to enhance system reliability within existing infrastructure\, reduce electricity costs\, and accelerate renewable energy adoption. However\, they also introduce complex market interactions that require rigorous analytical frameworks to ensure efficiency\, fairness\, and sustainability. \nIn this talk\, the speaker will discuss our recent research on leveraging game-theoretic modelling to analyse and design mechanisms for these evolving power systems. His studies examine the impacts of coincident peak-shaving programs and energy storage participation in wholesale electricity markets through competitive equilibrium models. He also explores optimal pricing strategies for voluntary renewable energy contracts that promote large-scale renewable deployment. Together\, these results underscore the importance of a principled understanding of emerging market structures and provide guidance for designing future policies that balance economic efficiency\, reliability\, and sustainability in power systems. \nSpeaker\nProf. Bolun XU\nAssistant Professor\,\nColumbia University \nSpeaker’s Biography\nProf. Bolun XU is an Assistant Professor in Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University\, with an affiliated appointment in Electrical Engineering. He received his PhD from the University of Washington and his M.S. from ETH Zurich\, both in Electrical Engineering. He also received dual bachelor degrees from Shanghai Jiaotong University and University of Michigan Ann Arbor in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Before joining Columbia\, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the MIT Energy Initiative. His research focuses on the design and optimisation of sustainable energy and power systems and the integration of emerging technologies. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award\, the Outstanding Young Investigator Award from the IISE Energy Systems Division\, and the Early Career Award from the INFORMS Energy\, Natural Resources\, and Environment (ENRE) Section. \nOrganiser\nProf. Yi WANG\nDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering\,\nThe University of Hong Kong\n\nAll are welcome!
