Dr. Mostafa Vahedipour received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Birjand in 2017. His doctoral research focused on demand management in smart microgrids with an emphasis on ensuring system security. During this period, he was awarded a prestigious scholarship from the Iranian Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, which enabled him to conduct research as a visiting researcher at Aalborg University, Denmark, from 2016 to 2017.

After completing his Ph.D., Dr. Vahedipour continued his academic career as an Assistant Professor at the University of Birjand, where he played an active role not only in research but also in educating and training future generations of engineers. In 2020, he was awarded an international research fellowship at the University of Salerno, Italy, where he focused his research on energy management in smart grids. This collaboration expanded his research expertise and led to stronger interactions with the University of Vaasa, Finland where he was a post doc researcher.

Currently, Dr. Vahedipour is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Birjand, Ferdows Faculty of Engineering. ALso, now, he is working as a team leader at Nowocert, research and Innovation Division, Dublin, Ireland. 

In parallel, he serves as a member of the Board of Directors of Saha Niroo Savis Company, a technology-based company operating in the field of energy management in Iran. His dual roles in academia and industry have enabled him to bridge the gap between research and practical solutions in energy management.

Abstract

This paper presents a risk‐averse stochastic bi‐level programming approach to solve decision‐making of a retailer in a competitive market under uncertainties. The retailer decides the level of involvement in day‐ahead (DA) and regulation markets by making an optimal bidding strategy with the goal of expected profit maximization. Uncertainties associated with DA prices, up/ down regulation market prices, customers' demand, and rival retailers' behaviors are tackled through a stochastic programming model. In the proposed model, responsive loads and electric vehicles (EVs) track the real‐time prices and choose the proper retailer to minimize their payments in the competitive trading floor. The obtained nonlinear stochastic model is transformed into an equivalent linear single‐level program by replacing the lower‐level problem with its Karush‐Kuhn‐Tucker optimality conditions and using duality theory. Finally, the proposed methodology is evaluated by applying to a realistic case study, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
