Reinforcement Learning for Public Safety Power Shutoffs Under Decision-Dependent Uncertainty and Nonlinear Wildfire Ignition Models
Prasanna Raut, Chaoyue Zhao, Alexandre Moreira
Power grid infrastructure is an increasingly significant source of wildfire ignitions and poses severe risks to communities in fire-prone regions. Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSP…
Dynamic Transmission Line Switching Amidst Wildfire-Prone Weather Under Decision-Dependent Uncertainty
Juan-Alberto Estrada-Garcia, Ruiwei Jiang, Alexandre Moreira
During dry and windy seasons, environmental conditions significantly increase the risk of wildfires, exposing power grids to disruptions caused by transmission line failures. Wildf…
State-wise Economic Viability of Long-Duration Energy Storage Systems in the United States
Alexandre Moreira, Patricia Silva, Miguel Heleno +1
Long-duration energy storage (LDES) assets can be fundamental resources for the next-generation power systems. However, LDES technologies are still immature and their future techno…
A Modeling Framework for Equitable Deployment of Energy Storage in Disadvantaged Communities
Miguel Heleno, Paul Lesur, Alexandre Moreira
This paper provides an analytical framework to incorporate the deployment of behind-the-meter energy storage coupled with rooftop solar, and their associated revenue streams, in th…
Decision-Dependent Uncertainty-Aware Distribution System Planning Under Wildfire Risk
Felipe Piancó, Alexandre Moreira, Bruno Fanzeres +3
The interaction between power systems and wildfires can be dangerous and costly. Damaged structures, load shedding, and high operational costs are potential consequences when the g…
