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 …

In recent years the power systems research community has seen an explosion of work
applying operations research techniques to challenging power network optimization …

The nonflexible operations of transmission networks with high load demand and wind power
increase the likelihood of power congestions and deteriorate grid reliability. This condition …

This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) reformulation of the thermal
unit commitment (UC) problem. The proposed formulation is simultaneously tight and …

Currently, both demand response (DR) strategy and renewable energy have been adopted
to improve power generation efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emission. However, the …

This paper describes a new probabilistic model for generation and transmission expansion
planning (G&TEP) problem considering reliability criteria. Probabilistic reliability criteria …

This paper proposes a distributionally robust optimization approach for the contingency-
constrained unit commitment problem. In our approach, we consider a case where the true …

This paper proposes a two-stage robust optimization approach to solve the Nk contingency-
constrained unit commitment (CCUC) problem. In our approach, both generator and …

This paper presents a new approach for the contingency-constrained single-bus unit
commitment problem. The proposed model explicitly incorporates an nK security criterion by …

To handle significant variability in loads, renewable energy generation, as well as various
contingencies,(two-stage) robust optimization method has been adopted to construct unit …
