Research Interests
1. Pricing Mechanism and Business Model Design for the Future Electricity Market
Pricing for the wholesale electricity market depends on the cost of the generating units, including fixed startup costs and variable fuel costs. To mitigate the impact of high penetration of renewable energy on the reliable operation of the power grid, market operators need to frequently startup and shut down generating units. This results in recurring fixed costs, blurring the boundary between fixed and variable costs and making the system-level power generation cost non-convex. To this end, how should we design the wholesale electricity price effectively in the future? What regulatory challenges will arise? Can new business models be devised to improve market efficiency using new market ingredients such as demand-side response, electric vehicles, and energy storage?
2. Data Driven Analytics for the Carbon-related Financial Instruments
In the context of carbon neutrality, the future electricity market will be closely coupled with the carbon market. The physical constraints already make the electricity market highly susceptible to manipulation. The inconsistency between the electricity market and the carbon market will make the situation even worse. Is it possible to design financial instruments that connect the two markets and eliminate the market loopholes? Is it possible to use existing financial derivatives or design new derivatives to enhance the liquidity of the two markets, thereby enhancing competitiveness and efficiency?
On the other hand, in the future data era, how to protect individual privacy in data sharing? How to price data? These issues are also among the core focuses of our research team.
3. AI-Powered Electricity Grid Control and Operation
Artificial intelligence and data-driven technologies have profoundly changed our lives, not yet for the power grid. The core reason is the pursuit of stability in the power system operation. Specifically, AI and data-driven techniques are very good at handling trained situations and very unstable in untrained situations. Therefore, most of the current AI applications in the energy sector are to aid decision-making. How to further improve the ability of AI to assist decision-making and ultimately lead to an AI-powered grid?
