In this problem, each unit aims to find a bidding strategy that maximizes its revenue while concurrently retaining its reliability by scheduling preventive maintenance. The maintenance scheduling provides some safety constraints which should be satisfied at all times. Satisfying the critical safety and reliability constraints while the generation units have an incomplete information of each others' bidding strategy is a challenging problem. Bi-level optimization and reinforcement learning are state of the art approaches for solving this type of problems. However, neither bi-level optimization nor reinforcement learning can handle the challenges of incomplete information and critical safety constraints. To tackle these challenges, we propose the safe deep deterministic policy gradient reinforcement learning algorithm which is based on a combination of reinforcement learning and a predicted safety filter. The case study demonstrates that the proposed approach can achieve a higher profit compared to other state of the art methods while concurrently satisfying the system safety constraints.

We adopt contract theory to design a mechanism for interaction between the content provider (CP) ... more We adopt contract theory to design a mechanism for interaction between the content provider (CP) and mobile users (MUs) with asymmetric information. To incentivize MUs to consume more content, a content scheme is proposed in which the CP provides some financial assistance to MUs. This scheme yields both the MUs and CP benefit due to gained utility and advertisement revenue in response to high data usage, respectively. We prove that a unique functional strategy exists to allocate the content demand and financial assistance based on MUs’ types. This strategy satisfies the incentive compatibility, individual rationality and maximizes the CP’s profit.
