Journal Article
Edwards, G., Sheehy, S., Dent, C., & Troffaes, M. C. (2017). Assessing the Contribution of Nightly Rechargeable Grid-Scale Storage to Generation Capacity Adequacy. Sustainable Energy, Grids and Networks, 12, 69-81. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.segan.2017.09.005

This paper is concerned with assessing the contribution of grid-scale storage to generation capacity adequacy. Results are obtained for a utility-scale exemplar involving the Great Britain power system. All stores are assumed, for the purpose of capa...

Conference Proceeding
Heylen, E., Deconinck, G., Van Hertem, D., Troffaes, M. C., & Kazemtabrizi, B. (2017). Qualitative comparison of techniques for evaluating performance of short term power system reliability management. In 2017 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe) : Torino, Italy, 26-29 September 2017 : conference proceedings (333-339). https://doi.org/10.1109/isgteurope.2017.8260148

Adequate performance evaluation of different short term reliability management approaches and criteria is crucial in order to convince transmission system operators to substitute or complement the currently used N-1 criterion with more efficient, alt...

A note on imprecise Monte Carlo over credal sets via importance sampling (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Troffaes, M. C. (2017). A note on imprecise Monte Carlo over credal sets via importance sampling. In A. Antonucci, G. Corani, I. Couso, & S. Destercke (Eds.), Proceedings of the Tenth International Symposium on Imprecise Probability : Theories and Applications, 10-14 July 2017, Lugano (Switzerland) (325-332)

This brief paper is an exploratory investigation of how we can apply sensitivity analysis over importance sampling weights in order to obtain sampling estimates of lower previsions described by a parametric family of distributions. We demonstrate our... Read More about A note on imprecise Monte Carlo over credal sets via importance sampling.

Efficient algorithms for checking avoiding sure loss (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Nakharutai, N., Troffaes, M. C., & Caiado, C. C. (2017). Efficient algorithms for checking avoiding sure loss. In A. Antonucci, G. Corani, I. Couso, & S. Destercke (Eds.), Proceedings of the Tenth International Symposium on Imprecise Probability : Theories and Applications, 10-14 July 2017, Lugano (Switzerland) (241-252)

Sets of desirable gambles provide a general representation of uncertainty which can handle partial information in a more robust way than precise probabilities. Here we study the effectiveness of linear programming algorithms for determining whether o... Read More about Efficient algorithms for checking avoiding sure loss.

Imprecise swing weighting for multi-attribute utility elicitation based on partial preferences (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Troffaes, M. C., & Sahlin, U. (2017). Imprecise swing weighting for multi-attribute utility elicitation based on partial preferences. In A. Antonucci, G. Corani, I. Couso, & S. Destercke (Eds.), Proceedings of the Tenth International Symposium on Imprecise Probability : Theories and Applications, 10-14 July 2017, Lugano (Switzerland) (333-345)

We describe a novel approach to multi-attribute utility elicitation which is both general enough to cover a wide range of problems, whilst at the same time simple enough to admit reasonably straightforward calculations. We allow both utilities and pr... Read More about Imprecise swing weighting for multi-attribute utility elicitation based on partial preferences.

This is a comment on Lofstedt and Bouder’s paper, which explores the prospects of evidence based uncertainty analysis in Europe, focusing on the ongoing development on uncertainty analysis at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). We very much we... Read More about A note on EFSA’s ongoing efforts to increase transparency of uncertainty in scientific opinions.
