Incentive design for cooperative EV energy management using crowdsourced questionnaire data
SICE Journal of Control, Measurement, and System IntegrationThis paper addresses the design of an energy management system (EMS) that embeds a mechanism to encourage cooperative behavior among electric vehicle (EV) users. The proposed EMS provides incentives for EV users to contribute to grid stability by staying

Incentive Design and Market Evolution of Mobile User-Provided Networks
, 2015 An operator-assisted user-provided network (UPN) has the potential to achieve a low cost ubiquitous Internet connectivity, without significantly increasing the network infrastructure investment. In this paper, we consider such a network where the network

Mechanisms for Risk Averse Agents, Without Loss [PDF]
, 2012 Auctions in which agents' payoffs are random variables have received increased attention in recent years. In particular, recent work in algorithmic mechanism design has produced mechanisms employing internal randomization, partly in response to ...

Staged Incentive and Punishment Mechanism for Mobile Crowd Sensing
Sensors, 2018 Having an incentive mechanism is crucial for the recruitment of mobile users to participate in a sensing task and to ensure that participants provide high-quality sensing data. In this paper, we investigate a staged incentive and punishment mechanism for

Incentive Design for Direct Load Control Programs
, 2013 We study the problem of optimal incentive design for voluntary participation of electricity customers in a Direct Load Scheduling (DLS) program, a new form of Direct Load Control (DLC) based on a three way communication protocol between customers ...

Practical Incentive Mechanisms for IoT-Based Mobile Crowdsensing Systems
IEEE Access, 2017 Powerful smart terminals with rich set of embedded sensors promote the development of the Internet of Things (IoTs). Mobile crowdsensing systems (MCSs) can be formed by these mobile smart terminals from IoTs to collect and exchange data. The main idea of

Incentive Design for Rational Agents
Proceedings of the TwentyFirst International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and ReasoningWe introduce Incentive Design: a new class of problems for equilibrium verification in multi-agent systems. In our model, agents attempt to maximize their utility functions, which are expressed as formulae in LTL[F], a quantitative extension of Linear Temporal Logic with functions computable in polynomial time.

Photovoltaic Incentive Design Handbook [PDF]
, 2006 Investments in customer-owned grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) energy systems are growing at a steady pace. This is due, in part, to the availability of attractive economic incentives offered by public state agencies and utilities. In the United States, these incentives have largely been upfront lump payments tied to the system capacity rating.
