In this article, the energy market is a modeled as a Stackelberg game involving three categories of agents: microgrids made of end users sharing the same energy provider, suppliers and generators. The energy production is decentralized involving non-renewables, renewables and demand response performed at the microgrid level. We compute analytically the Nash equilibrium of the game in the genera...

A forward reliability market is presented. The market coordinates new entry through the forward procurement of reliability options—physical capacity bundled with a financial option to supply energy above a strike price. The market assures adequate generating resources and prices capacity from the bids of competitive new entry in an annual auction. Efficient performance incentives are maintained...

In equity offerings in which pre-emptive subscription rights are issued, there two ways of acquiring the company’s shares: either by buying them directly on market, or subscribing to new shares using rights. This could lead existence arbitrage opportunities. addition, announcement these processes incorporates very relevant information generate abnormal returns for shares. paper analyses both hy...

In existing content delivery systems user accesses are popularly used for predicting the request pattern of contents. In novel web applications such as publish/subscribe services, users explicitly provide statements of interest in the form of subscriptions. These subscriptions provide another source of user information in addition to access patterns. This paper addresses the content delivery pr...

An increasing number of data sources and services are made available on the Web, and in many cases these information sources are or easily could be made available as feeds. However, the more data sources and services are exposed through feed-based services, the more it becomes necessary to manage and be able to share those services, so that users and uses of those services can build on the foun...

The transition to a low-carbon power system brings the challenges of growing the share of generation from (intermittent) renewables while ensuring security of supply. Policymakers and economists increasingly see a market design based on a capacity mechanism as a way to deal with these challenges. Yet this raises new concerns about the potential exercise of market power by large players via the ...

● Diesel Filter Regeneration Abstract: Diesel particulate filters capture particle emissions through a combination of surface-type and deep-bed filtration mechanisms, such as diffusional deposition, inertial d positi , or flow-line interception. Collected particulates are removed from the filter, continuously or periodically, through thermal regeneration. Diesel filters are very effective in co...

Transactional Lock Elision (TLE) uses Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) to execute unmodified critical sections concurrently, even if they are protected by the same lock. To ensure correctness, the transactions used to execute these critical sections “subscribe” to the lock by reading it and checking that it is available. A recent paper proposed using the tempting “lazy subscription” optimiza...

In this paper we study the problem of long-term capacity adequacy in electricity markets. We implement a dynamic model in which firms compete for investment and electricity production under imperfect Cournot competition. The main aim of this work is to compare three investment incentive mechanisms: reliability options, forward capacity market and capacity payments. Apart from the oligopoly case...
