Mobile Energy Storage in Power Network: Marginal Value and Optimal Operation

no code implementations17 Mar 2023 Utkarsha Agwan, Junjie Qin, Kameshwar Poolla, Pravin Varaiya

This paper examines the marginal value of mobile energy storage, i. e., energy storage units that can be efficiently relocated to other locations in the power network.

Electric Vehicle Battery Sharing Game for Mobile Energy Storage Provision in Power Networks

no code implementations14 Sep 2022 Utkarsha Agwan, Junjie Qin, Kameshwar Poolla, Pravin Varaiya

In this paper, we consider two types of EV drivers who may be willing to provide mobile storage service using their EVs: commuters taking a fixed route, and on-demand EV drivers who receive incentives from a transportation network company (TNC) and are willing to take any route.

Impact of Congestion Charge and Minimum Wage on TNCs: A Case Study for San Francisco

no code implementations5 Mar 2020 Sen Li, Kameshwar Poolla, Pravin Varaiya

Both charges reduce the number of TNC trips, but this reduction is limited by the wage floor, and the number of TNC vehicles reduced is not significant.

Large-Scale Traffic Signal Offset Optimization

1 code implementation19 Nov 2019 Yi Ouyang, Richard Y. Zhang, Javad Lavaei, Pravin Varaiya

The offset optimization problem seeks to coordinate and synchronize the timing of traffic signals throughout a network in order to enhance traffic flow and reduce stops and delays.

A Queuing Approach to Parking: Modeling, Verification, and Prediction

no code implementations29 Aug 2019 Hamidreza Tavafoghi, Kameshwar Poolla, Pravin Varaiya

Based on the queuing model, we propose two prediction methods, a microscopic method and a macroscopic method, that provide a real-time probabilistic forecast of parking occupancy for an arbitrary forecast horizon.
