Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture

This talk presents game-theoretic equilibrium frameworks alongside optimization and machine learning approaches for enabling efficient energy storage participation in electricity markets. I will demonstrate that strategic storage participation converges to efficient market outcomes under the existing two-settlement U.S. market design. Building on this foundation, I will examine the energy storage arbitrage problem in detail, framing it within a dynamic programming perspective, and present solution strategies ranging from classical stochastic optimization to decision-focused learning pipelines.
