ESIC FA25 Power Seminar Series: Energy Storage in Electricity Markets: Equilibrium Models and Learning-Enabled Participation
WSU Pullman - Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Building

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.

Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Dr. Steven Furlanetto
WSU Pullman - Webster Physical Science Building

“How Much Do We Understand About Early Galaxy Formation”

The “Cosmic Dawn” of galaxy formation is one of the frontiers of modern astronomy. In the past two years, JWST has provided tantalizing clues about sources in the first several hundred million years of the Universe’s history that challenge our understanding this era, including an apparent overabundance of bright galaxies during the early phases, evidence for strong fluctuations in the star formation rate of sources, and a surprising abundance of accreting supermassive black holes. I will use a simple galaxy formation framework to describe how we can leverage these new observations to learn more abut this crucial era.
