Transmission Topology Optimization using accelerated MapElites
Nico Westerbeck, Leonard Hilfrich, Dirk Witthaut
Transmission Topology Optimization has great potential to improve efficiency and flexibility of grid operations through non-costly switching actions, but previous approaches strugg…
Voltage-sensitive distribution factors for contingency analysis and topology optimization
Maurizio Titz, Dirk Witthaut, Joost van Dijk +2
Topology optimization is a promising approach for mitigating congestion and managing changing grid conditions, but it is computationally challenging and requires approximations. Co…
RL2Grid: Benchmarking Reinforcement Learning in Power Grid Operations
Enrico Marchesini, Benjamin Donnot, Constance Crozier +7
Reinforcement learning (RL) can provide adaptive and scalable controllers essential for power grid decarbonization. However, RL methods struggle with power grids' complex dynamics,…
Accelerated DC loadflow solver for topology optimization
Nico Westerbeck, Joost van Dijk, Jan Viebahn +2
We present a massively parallel solver that accelerates DC loadflow computations for power grid topology optimization tasks. Our approach leverages low-rank updates of the Power Tr…
Unified algebraic deviation of distribution factors in linear power flow
Joost van Dijk, Nico Westerbeck, Lars Schewe +2
Distribution factors are indispensable tools in the design and analysis of power transmission grids. Recently, they received a renewed interest in the field of topology optimizatio…
