Integer-Clustering Optimization of Hydrogen and Battery EV Fleets Considering DERs
Electrified transportation leads to a tighter integration between transportation and energy distribution systems. In this work, we develop scalable optimization models to co-design hydrogen and battery electric vehicle (EV) fleets, distributed energy resources, and fast-charging and hydrogen-fueling infrastructure to efficiently meet transportation demands. A novel integer-clustering formulation is used for optimizing fleet-level EV operation while maintaining accurate individual vehicle dispat…

Multi-terminal Strong Coordination over Noisy Channels with Encoder Co-operation
We investigate the problem of strong coordination over a multiple-access channel (MAC) with cribbing encoders. In this configuration, two encoders observe independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) samples of a source random variable each and encode the inputs to the MAC. The decoder which observes the output of the MAC together with side-information, must generate approximately i.i.d. samples of another random variable which is jointly distributed with the two sources and the side inform…

Optimal Co-Design of a Hybrid Energy Storage System for Truck Charging
The major challenges to battery electric truck adoption are their high cost and grid congestion.In this context, stationary energy storage systems can help mitigate both issues. Since their design and operation are strongly coupled, to make the best out of them, they should be jointly optimized. This paper presents a co-design framework for hybrid energy storage systems where their technology and sizing are optimized jointly with their operational strategies. Specifically, we consider a microgr…
