Nested-Loop Trajectory-Informed Variational Quantum Solver for Interior-Point OPF
Farshad Amani, Amin Kargarian
Optimal power flow (OPF) solved by an interior-point method (IPM) requires repeatedly solving Newton linear systems. When variational quantum linear solvers (VQLS) are used, each I…
Learning Interior Point Method Central Path Projection for Optimal Power Flow
Farshad Amani, Amin Kargarian, Ramachandran Vaidyanathan
This paper proposes a learning-based approach to accelerate the interior-point method (IPM) for solving optimal power flow (OPF) problems by learning the structure of the IPM centr…
Event-Driven Deep RL Dispatcher for Post-Storm Distribution System Restoration
Farshad Amani, Faezeh Ardali, Amin Kargarian
Natural hazards such as hurricanes and floods damage power grid equipment, forcing operators to replan restoration repeatedly as new information becomes available. This paper devel…
Learning Optimal Crew Dispatch for Grid Restoration Following an Earthquake
Farshad Amani, Faezeh Ardali, Amin Kargarian
Post-disaster crew dispatch is a critical but computationally intensive task. Traditional mixed-integer linear programming methods often require minutes to several hours to compute…
Quantum Optimization for Optimal Power Flow: CVQLS-Augmented Interior Point Method
Farshad Amani, Amin Kargarian
This paper presents a quantum-enhanced optimization approach for solving optimal power flow (OPF) by integrating the interior point method (IPM) with a coherent variational quantum…
