Water Demand Maximization: Quick Recovery of Nonlinear Physics Solutions
Sai Krishna Kanth Hari, Russell Bent
Determining the maximum demand a water distribution network can satisfy is crucial for ensuring reliable supply and planning network expansion. This problem, typically formulated a…
Optimization of District Heating Network Parameters in Steady-State Operation
Sai Krishna K. Hari, Anatoly Zlotnik, Shriram Srinivasan +2
We examine the modeling, simulation, and optimization of district heating systems, which are widely used for thermal transport using steam or hot water as a carrier. We propose a g…
Joint Expansion Planning of Power and Water Distribution Networks
Sai Krishna Kanth Hari, Ahmed Zamzam, Byron Tasseff +2
This research explores the joint expansion planning of power and water distribution networks, which exhibit interdependence at various levels. We specifically focus on the dependen…
Relaxations of the Steady Optimal Gas Flow Problem for a Non-Ideal Gas
Sai Krishna Kanth Hari, Kaarthik Sundar, Shriram Srinivasan +1
Natural gas ranks second in consumption among primary energy sources in the United States. The majority of production sites are in remote locations, hence natural gas needs to be t…
Operation of Natural Gas Pipeline Networks With Storage Under Transient Flow Conditions
Sai Krishna Kanth Hari, Kaarthik Sundar, Shriram Srinivasan +2
We formulate a nonlinear optimal control problem for intra-day operation of a natural gas pipeline network that includes storage reservoirs. The dynamics of compressible gas flow t…
Hierarchical Predictive Control Algorithms for Optimal Design and Operation of Microgrids
Sai Krishna Kanth Hari, Kaarthik Sundar, Harsha Nagarajan +2
In recent years, microgrids, i.e., disconnected distribution systems, have received increasing interest from power system utilities to support the economic and resiliency posture o…
