A Dynamic Capacity Allocation Model for DERs under Non-Firm Connection Agreements
Neda Vahabzad, Kenneth Bruninx, Peter Palensky +1
The growing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) intensifies congestion in distribution networks by introducing bidirectional power flows and increasing competition f…
Quantum Hardware-in-the-Loop for Optimal Power Flow in Renewable-Integrated Power Systems
Zeynab Kaseb, Rahul Rane, Aleksandra Lekic +4
Quantum computing has emerged as a promising computational paradigm to address unresolved challenges in the modeling and control of modern power systems. However, most existing stu…
Transformer-based few-shot learning for modeling Electricity Consumption Profiles with minimal data across thousands of domains
Weijie Xia, Gao Peng, Chenguang Wang +3
Electricity Consumption Profiles (ECPs) are crucial for operating and planning power distribution systems, especially with the increasing number of low-carbon technologies such as…
Risk-Based PV-Rich Distribution System Planning Using Generative AI
Habtemariam Aberie Kefale, Weijie Xia, Nanda Kishor Panda +2
Hosting capacity (HC) assessment plays a critical role in distribution system planning under increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and associated uncertaint…
SAVGO: Learning State-Action Value Geometry with Cosine Similarity for Continuous Control
Stavros Orfanoudakis, Pedro P. Vergara
While representation and similarity learning have improved the sample efficiency of Reinforcement Learning (RL), they are rarely used to shape policy updates directly in the action…
Learning to Route Electric Trucks Under Operational Uncertainty
Stavros Orfanoudakis, Ziyan Li, Ruixiao Yang +4
Electric truck operations require routing decisions that remain feasible under limited battery range, long charging times, travel and energy consumption, and competition for shared…
