Every component of an electric power system is susceptible to failure. The power transmission system connects generating units to local distribution systems,...

Demand response (DR) has been increasingly growing in significance among the solutions to tackle climate change, along with the development of intermittent r...

A new business opportunity is emerging with the combination of three key market trends: (1) Increased penetration of residential solar PV; (2) Rapid reductio...

The accessibility and reducing cost of distributed renewable energy sources are stimulating the emergence of small-scale residential prosumers who can produc...

Maintenance planning for hydropower plants is a crucial problem. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of the Hydropower Production Function (HPF) formulatio...

This work considers the graph partitioning problem known as maximum k-cut. It focuses on investigating features of a branch-and-bound method to efficiently...

While one can exploit the storage properties and thus the deferability or anticipation potential of many classes of power system loads (such as thermal loads...

The energy landscape is marked by a rapid emergence of electricity prosumers at all levels of the grid. While energy policy seems to be more adaptive to the ...

This paper presents a linear mixed-integer formulation to solve the short-term unit commitment problem. It determines the pair of maximum efficiency points o...

We consider the use of demand response to address phase unbalance in a distribution grid. At present this problem is addressed by modifying the topology of t...

This paper introduces the algorithmic design and implementation of Tulip, an open-source interior-point solver for linear optimization. It implements the ho...

Intermittent renewable energy, such as solar and wind, brings uncertainty into the grid. To increase their contribution into the energy mix, load management ...

Computational speed and global optimality are a key need for pratical algorithms of the OPF problem. Recently, we proposed a tight-and-cheap conic relaxation...

In demand-response programs, aggregators balance the needs of generation companies and end-users. This work proposes a two-phase framework that shaves the ag...

Smart homes have the potential to achieve efficient energy consumption: households can profit from appropriately scheduled consumption. By 2020, 35% of all h...

The optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem is an alternating current optimal power flow (ACOPF) problem where discrete control devices for regulating...

Smart homes have the potential to achieve optimal energy consumption with appropriate scheduling. It is expected that 35% of households in North America an...

We present a new strategic multi-period optimization problem for the siting of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. One main novelty in this problem is t...

Maintenance of power generators is essential for reliable and efficient electricity production. Because generators under maintenance are typically inactive, ...

Recent progress in energy storage have contributed to create large-scale storage facilities and to decrease their costs. This may bring economic opportunitie...
