Coordinated Conservation Voltage Reduction and Network Topology Reconfiguration in Active Distribution Networks
Rida Fatima, Hassan Zahid Butt, Xingpeng Li
Distribution networks rely on conservation voltage reduction (CVR) and network topology reconfiguration (NTR) to manage demand, distributed energy resources (DERs), and tighter ope…
Unlocking AI Data Center Interconnection Capacity Through Coordinated Grid and Data Center Flexibility
Rida Fatima, Xingpeng Li
The rapid growth of AI data centers is creating concentrated electricity demands that can exceed available distribution network headroom and delay interconnection. This paper inves…
Minimizing Grid Interconnection Capacity Requirements for AI Data Centers: A Developer-Side Planning Framework with Onsite Resources and Workload Flexibility
Hassan Zahid Butt, Rida Fatima, Xingpeng Li
Securing grid interconnection capacity has become a bottleneck for AI data center projects and can take longer than constructing the facilities themselves. This mismatch can delay…
Optimal Loss Reduction in Distribution Networks Using Conservation Voltage Reduction and Network Topology Reconfiguration
Rida Fatima, Hassan Zahid Butt, Xingpeng Li
Conservation voltage reduction (CVR) and network topology reconfiguration (NTR) are widely employed to improve distribution system performance; however, existing approaches largely…
Active Power Thermal Feasibility Assessment of EV Integration with DER Scheduling and Distribution Network Reconfiguration
Rida Fatima, Linhan Fang, Xingpeng Li
The rapid growth of electric vehicle (EV) adoption poses operational and economic challenges for distribution systems, including increased line loading and network congestion. As a…
Optimal Dynamic Reconfiguration of Distribution Networks
Rida Fatima, Hassan Zahid Butt, Xingpeng Li
The aim of distribution networks is to meet their local area power demand with maximum reliability. As the electricity consumption tends to increase every year, limited line therma…
