Leveraging Quantum Computing for Accelerated Classical Algorithms in Power Systems Optimization
Rosemary Barrass, Harsha Nagarajan, Carleton Coffrin
The recent advent of commercially available quantum annealing hardware (QAH) has expanded opportunities for research into quantum annealing-based algorithms. In the domain of power…
Applications of Lifted Nonlinear Cuts to Convex Relaxations of the AC Power Flow Equations
Sergio I. Bugosen, Robert B. Parker, Carleton Coffrin
We demonstrate that valid inequalities, or lifted nonlinear cuts (LNC), can be projected to tighten the Second Order Cone (SOC), Convex DistFlow (CDF), and Network Flow (NF) relaxa…
On the Emerging Potential of Quantum Annealing Hardware for Combinatorial Optimization
Byron Tasseff, Tameem Albash, Zachary Morrell +4
Over the past decade, the usefulness of quantum annealing hardware for combinatorial optimization has been the subject of much debate. Thus far, experimental benchmarking studies h…
Polyhedral Relaxations for Optimal Pump Scheduling of Potable Water Distribution Networks
Byron Tasseff, Russell Bent, Carleton Coffrin +6
The classic pump scheduling or Optimal Water Flow (OWF) problem for water distribution networks (WDNs) minimizes the cost of power consumption for a given WDN over a fixed time hor…
Convex Relaxations of Maximal Load Delivery for Multi-contingency Analysis of Joint Electric Power and Natural Gas Transmission Networks
Byron Tasseff, Carleton Coffrin, Russell Bent
Recent increases in gas-fired power generation have engendered increased interdependencies between natural gas and power transmission systems. These interdependencies have amplifie…
Graph-Based Modeling and Decomposition of Energy Infrastructures
Sungho Shin, Carleton Coffrin, Kaarthik Sundar +1
Nonlinear optimization problems are found at the heart of real-time operations of critical infrastructures. These problems are computationally challenging because they embed comple…
