Hidden Economic Consequences of Adapting to Fast Ramping Datacenter Loads
Willa Gutowski, Charles Foltz, Nicholson Koukpaizan +2
Artificial intelligence workloads are driving the rapid expansion of datacenter infrastructure, which imposes substantial stress on the US energy system. While high peak electricit…
Agentic Artificial Intelligence for Power Systems: Strategies to Identify and Close Capability Gaps
Eve Tsybina, Samim Konjicija, Slaven Peles
The rapid expansion of AI-driven information infrastructure, particularly data centers, is placing unprecedented pressure on power systems and accelerating the pace at which new as…
Geospatial sensitivity of transmission-constrained ACOPF to generator retirement
Willa Gutowski, Ulyana Shyrokaya, Nicholson Koukpaizan +3
The US faces a growing resource adequacy challenge: new loads are being added at unprecedented scale while aging generating assets are being retired. In transmission-constrained gr…
HPC-Enabled Generator Importance Assessment for RTO-Scale Resource Adequacy Planning
Eve Tsybina, Nicholson Koukpaizan, Joshua Hambrick +2
Modern power systems are increasingly under stress as aging assets approach retirement and load growth outpaces new generation construction. The severity of this challenge varies b…
Porting the Nonlinear Optimization Library HiOp to Accelerator-Based Hardware Architectures
Slaven Peles, Kalyan S. Perumalla, Maksudul Alam +4
While interior point methods have been the centerpiece of nonlinear programming tools used in science and engineering, their reliance on linear solvers that can tackle sparse symme…
Fast Relax-and-Round Unit Commitment with Economic Horizons
Shaked Regev, Eve Tsybina, Slaven Peles
We expand our novel computational method for unit commitment (UC) to include long-horizon planning. We introduce a fast novel algorithm to commit hydro-generators, provably accurat…
