Traditional largest normalize residual (LNR) test for bad data identification relies on state estimation residuals and thus can only be implemented after running Power System State Estimation (PSSE). LNR may fail to detect bad data in…

State estimation in power distribution systems is a key component for increased reliability and optimal system performance. Well understood in transmission systems, state estimation is now an area of active research in distribution…

State estimation (SE) of water distribution networks (WDNs) is difficult to solve due to nonlinearity/nonconvexity of water flow models, uncertainties from parameters and demands, lack of redundancy of measurements, and inaccurate flow and…

Optimal power flow (OPF) is an important problem in the operation of electric power systems. Due to the OPF problem's non-convexity, there may exist multiple local optima. Certifiably obtaining the global solution is important for certain…
