Price of anarchy in electric vehicle charging control games: When Nash equilibria achieve social welfare

TLDR
In this paper, the authors considered the problem of optimal charging of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) as a multi-agent game, where vehicles/agents are heterogeneous since they are subject to possibly different constraints.

Continuous-Time Integral Dynamics for a Class of Aggregative Games With Coupling Constraints

TL;DR: This work proposes simple semidecentralized integral dynamics and proves their global asymptotic convergence to a variational generalized aggregative or Nash equilibrium based on Lyapunov arguments and invariance techniques for differential inclusions.

Worst-case equilibria

TL;DR: In a system where noncooperative agents share a common resource, the price of anarchy is proposed, which is the ratio between the worst possible Nash equilibrium and the social optimum, as a measure of the effectiveness of the system.

Optimal deadline scheduling for electric vehicle charging with energy storage and random supply

TL;DR: A new methodological approach is proposed to establish full characterizations of an optimal scheduling policy that enable the development of scalable computational approaches and achieves close-to-optimal performance in numerical experiments with real-world electricity pricing and solar generation data.

A Douglas-Rachford splitting for semi-decentralized generalized Nash equilibrium seeking in Monotone Aggregative Games.

TL;DR: This work addresses the generalized Nash equilibrium seeking problem for a population of agents playing aggregative games with affine coupling constraints and designs a single-layer, fixed-step algorithm with convergence guarantee for general (non cocoercive, non-strictly) monotone aggregation games.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probably Approximately Correct Nash Equilibrium Learning

TL;DR: This work considers a multi-agent noncooperative game with agents' objective functions being affected by uncertainty, and accompanies the computed Nash equilibrium with a priori and a posteriori probabilistic robustness certificates, providing confidence that the computed equilibrium remains unaffected when a new uncertainty realization is encountered.

Efficiency-Risk Tradeoffs in Electricity Markets with Dynamic Demand Response

TL;DR: This work examines in an abstract framework how a tradeoff between efficiency and risk arises under different market architectures and provides a convex characterization of the Pareto front of system performance measures, which serves as a benchmark of the tradeoffs for the system operator to evaluate the pricing rules.

Uniform and complex bids for demand response and wind generation scheduling in multi-period linked transmission and distribution markets

TL;DR: The paper's contribution is the proposal of tractable complex bid rules that allow market participants to reveal their true inter temporal utility of consumption and their net revenue from wind generation, and enable the market operator to compute the actual Nash equilibrium in a single solution of the market clearing algorithm.
