Impact of severe hypoglycemia on the heat shock and related protein response by Alexander S. Atkin (18520107)

Modeling the risk-based decisions of the microgrid in day-ahead energy and reserve markets considering stochastic dispatching of electrical and thermal energy storages by Salah Bahramara (21347576)

“…However, the proposed robust two-stage stochastic model leads to a smaller reduction of the MGO’s first-stage decisions in the worst case in comparison with the conventional methods, i.e. deterministic and probabilistic ones. This issue proves the effectiveness of the proposed approach to protect the MGO’s decisions against the uncertainties.…”
