Optimal Distribution System Restoration with Microgrids and Distributed Generators
Manish Kumar Singh, Vassilis Kekatos, Chen-Ching Liu
Increasing emphasis on reliability and resiliency call for advanced distribution system restoration (DSR). The integration of grid sensors, remote controls, and distributed generat…
Natural Gas Flow Equations: Uniqueness and an MI-SOCP Solver
Manish K. Singh, Vassilis Kekatos
The critical role of gas fired-plants to compensate renewable generation has increased the operational variability in natural gas networks (GN). Towards developing more reliable an…
Kernel-Based Learning for Smart Inverter Control
Aditie Garg, Mana Jalali, Vassilis Kekatos +1
Distribution grids are currently challenged by frequent voltage excursions induced by intermittent solar generation. Smart inverters have been advocated as a fast-responding means…
Power Flow Solvers for Direct Current Networks
Sina Taheri, Vassilis Kekatos
With increasing smart grid direct current (DC) deployments in distribution feeders, microgrids, buildings, and high-voltage transmission, there is a need for better understanding t…
Smart Inverter Grid Probing for Learning Loads: Part II - Probing Injection Design
Siddharth Bhela, Vassilis Kekatos, Sriharsha Veeramachaneni
This two-part work puts forth the idea of engaging power electronics to probe an electric grid to infer non-metered loads. Probing can be accomplished by commanding inverters to pe…
Smart Inverter Grid Probing for Learning Loads: Part I - Identifiability Analysis
Siddharth Bhela, Vassilis Kekatos, Sriharsha Veeramachaneni
Distribution grids currently lack comprehensive real-time metering. Nevertheless, grid operators require precise knowledge of loads and renewable generation to accomplish any feede…
Optimal Scheduling of Water Distribution Systems
Manish K. Singh, Vassilis Kekatos
With dynamic electricity pricing, the operation of water distribution systems (WDS) is expected to become more variable. The pumps moving water from reservoirs to tanks and consume…
Graph Algorithms for Topology Identification using Power Grid Probing
Guido Cavraro, Vassilis Kekatos
To perform any meaningful optimization task, power distribution operators need to know the topology and line impedances of their electric networks. Nevertheless, distribution grids…
Inverter Probing for Power Distribution Network Topology Processing
Guido Cavraro, Vassilis Kekatos
Knowing the connectivity and line parameters of the underlying electric distribution network is a prerequisite for solving any grid optimization task. Although distribution grids l…
