There is considerable interest in using time-varying electricity prices to shape consumer demand response, and better align energy demand with renewable production. However, optimal prices generally vary over time in response to complex signals such as weather forecasts, sunrise/sunset times, and day-of-week patterns; and existing methods are not able to make efficient use of such rich contextual information. Here, we propose a neural-network-based algorithm for contextual energy pricing, modeling pricing as a Stackelberg game and leveraging a mean-field solution representation from Mehrabi et al.~(2024). The approach learns constrained mappings from contextual features to feasible price signals. We validate our approach by simulating the energy grid in several US cities, and show that incorporating contextual information can considerably increase the value of the demand response programs.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The possibility of inferring high-dimensional data inference in a model that consists of a prior and an auxiliary differentiable constraint given some additional information is considered, thereby allowing a range of potential applications in adapting models to new domains and tasks.

Adaptive AI agents can help make BIM data more machine-readable by navigating IFC models, interpreting inconsistent information, and mapping it to defined standards. In this blog, Alok Rawat shares findings from a real-world pilot in construction workflows. The post Adaptive AI Agents in Construction Workflows appeared first on GPT-Lab.
