Regularization and optimization in model-based clustering Pattern Recognition – Volume 150, June 2024, 110310 Due to their conceptual simplicity, k-means algorithm variants have been extensively used for unsupervised cluster analysis. However, one main shortcoming of these algorithms is that they essentially fit a mixture of identical spherical Gaussians to data that vastly deviates from such…

Informs Journal on Computing, 2023 Flexible Differentiable Optimization via Model Transformations We introduce DiffOpt.jl, a Julia library to differentiate through the solution of optimization problems with respect to arbitrary parameters present in the objective and/or constraints. The library builds upon MathOptInterface, thus leveraging the rich ecosystem of solvers and composing well with modeling languages like…

Operation and Maintenance Contracts for Wind Turbines Green Energy and Technology, 2014 Owners of wind parks often outsource operation and maintenance (O&M) of their assets. This chapter addresses the fundamental negotiating issues of wind turbine O&M contracts. We develop a conceptual mathematical framework to support the analysis and design of O&M contracts. The framework is…

Representation of Wind and Load Correlation in Non-Sequential Monte Carlo Reliability Evaluation Reliability and Risk Evaluation of Wind Integrated Power Systems, 2013 Probabilistic reliability evaluation of power systems can be performed by two distinct representations of the system: state space and chronological simulation. In the state space representation, the system states are randomly sampled by…
