Smoothed Two-Stage Decomposition Algorithm for Solving Large-Scale Transmission and Distribution AC-OPF Problems
Juan Ospina, Manuel Garcia, Xinyi Luo +3
The integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into the power grid has introduced new challenges to AC optimal power flow (AC-OPF) problems. Traditional OPF optimize consid…
Efficient Graph Partitioning under Resource Constraints: A Cutting-Plane Framework for Distribution Grids
Duong Thuy Anh Nguyen, Harsha Nagarajan, Robert Ferrando +2
This paper presents an optimal network topology control framework using cutting-plane methods for efficient network partitioning with controllable edges. The objective is to enable…
Load Block Modeling in Distribution Systems: Network Reconfiguration for Load Restoration
David M. Fobes, Harsha Nagarajan, Manuel Garcia +2
The distribution system restoration (DSR) problem has received considerable attention over the last decade or more. Solutions to the DSR problem identify the best set or sequence o…
A Hybrid Decomposition Approach for Stochastic Unit Commitment with Combined-Cycle Generators
Rosemary Barrass, Harsha Nagarajan, Mathieu Tanneau +2
The U.S. power grid is undergoing a major paradigm shift with the increased development of renewable generators, electric vehicles, and data centers. In response to this growing ne…
A Parametric, Second-Order Cone Representable Model of Fairness for Decision-Making Problems
Kaarthik Sundar, Deepjyoti Deka, Russell Bent
The article develops a parametric model of fairness called "-fairness" that can be represented using a single second-order cone constraint and incorporated into existi…
