Contracts with Industry

(EdF)  A. Chiche is preparing a PhD thesis (Cifre EdF-Inria, direction J. Ch. Gilbert) on decomposition-coordination methods for the middle-term optimization of the electricity production. The case where uncertainties are present is also considered, using scenario trees, which leads to even larger deterministic optimization problems. Improvements have been brought

• on the solution to infeasible convex quadratic optimization problems using the augmented Lagrangian approach [8] and

• on the solution to the optimization of the electricity production under uncertainties, using the progressive hedging algorithm.
