Bilevel Optimization for Infrastructure Management

(energy, water, environment, transportation)

Steven Gabriel, University of Maryland

In this talk we present both motivation for and examples of bilevel optimization/mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPECs) as applied to better management of infrastructure. In this setting, infrastructure means energy, water, transportation, and the environment. We focus on a diverse set of application areas, the need to incentivize users of the related infrastructure networks to participate in an efficiency manner, and then describe some recent work as applied to the power system in Denmark including theoretical and numerical results and algorithms.
