Optimal Deployment of Public Charing Infrastructures in Transportation and Power Network
… paper represents the first attempt to develop an optimal deployment design of charging lanes and fast charging stations, considering the traffic flow and electricity generation network simultaneously. Since the charging lane is still under experiment, we first designed a stated preference (SP) …

Distinct roles for energy storage and transmission infrastructure in a renewables-based electric power system
… and transmission infrastructure in the cost-optimal deployment of a renewable electricity grid in the United States. We find that storage and transmission serve distinctly different functions: transmission is useful for addressing hours-long resource lows, but only plays a supplementary role …

Interplanetary Ridesharing: Exploring Potential CubeSat Trajectories
… thesis introduces an optimization approach to deployment that explores new possibilities of interplanetary CubeSats. In this approach there are three categories of objective functions that are defined by the type of trajectory of a “primary” spacecraft, which carries the CubeSat deployer. These …
