Currently, there are multiple national directives that call for the development of a smarter
electrical grid. This includes, but is not limited to, the development of advanced transmission …

Conic optimization has recently emerged as a powerful tool for designing tractable and
guaranteed algorithms for power system operation. On the one hand, tractability is crucial …

Many optimal decision problems in scientific, engineering, and public sector applications
involve both discrete decisions and nonlinear system dynamics that affect the quality of the …

Marginal-cost-based dynamic pricing of electricity services, including real power, reactive
power, and reserves, may provide unprecedented efficiencies and system synergies that are …

Currently, there is a national push for a smarter electric grid, one that is more controllable
and flexible. The full control of transmission assets are not currently built into electric network …

Modern power systems are undergoing a transitional phase, increasingly incorporating
renewable energy sources (RES) to harness their economic and environmental benefits …

In this paper, we analyze the N-1 reliable dc optimal dispatch with transmission switching.
The model is a mixed integer program (MIP) with binary variables representing the state of …

The electrical grid is a vital component of modern society that requires significant and cost-
effective investments to ensure its reliability. The dynamic thermal rating system (DTR) and …

In power system operation, transmission congestion can drastically limit more economical
generation units from being dispatched. In this paper, optimal transmission switching as a …

We show how distributed control of reactive power can serve to regulate voltage and
minimize resistive losses in a distribution circuit that includes a significant level of …
