MOPEC: Multiple Optimization Problems with Equilibrium Constraints

TUESDAY, March 26, 2013, at 3:00 PM       NOTE THE TIME AND LOCATION!!

SEARLE 240A, 5735 S. Ellis Avenue

ABSTRACT
We present a mechanism for describing and solving collections of optimization problems that
are linked by equilibrium conditions. Included in this class are classical models such as the
PIES model and agent based formulations arising from Nash Games. We demonstrate this
mechanism in the context of energy planning problems, specifically for capacity expansion,
hydro operation, and transmission line switching. We show how to incorporate stochastic
information into these systems and give examples of their use and their possible extensions
to hierarchical modeling.
