Existing techniques for the cost optimization of water distribution networks either employ meta-heuristics, or try to develop problem-specific optimization techniques. Instead, we exploit recent advances in generic NLP solvers and explore a…

In this paper, we study the operational problem of connected hydro power reservoirs which involves sequential decision-making in an uncertain and dynamic environment. The problem is traditionally formulated as a stochastic dynamic program…

The common linear optimal power flow (LOPF) formulation that underlies most transmission expansion planning (TEP) formulations uses bus voltage angles as auxiliary optimization variables to describe Kirchhoff's voltage law. As well as…

Transmission network expansion planning is a mixed-integer optimization problem, whose solution is used to guide future investment in transmission equipment. An approach is presented to find the global solution of the transmission planning…

Short-term water demand forecasting (StWDF) is the foundation stone in the derivation of an optimal plan for controlling water supply systems. Deep learning (DL) approaches provide the most accurate solutions for this purpose. However, they…

The DC Power Flow approximation has been widely used for decades in both industry and academia due to its computational speed and simplicity, but suffers from inaccuracy, in part due to the assumption of a lossless network. Here we present…

Determination of the most economic strategies for supply and transmission of electricity is a daunting computational challenge. Due to theoretical barriers, so-called NP-hardness, the amount of effort to optimize the schedule of generating…

The Optimal Power Shutoff (OPS) problem is an optimization problem that makes power line de-energization decisions in order to reduce the risk of igniting a wildfire, while minimizing the load shed of customers. This problem, with DC linear…

The economic dispatch problem is considered for unbalanced three-phase power distribution networks entailing both non-deferrable and elastic loads, and distributed generation (DG) units. The objective is to minimize the costs of power drawn…

Increased uncertainty due to high penetration of renewables imposes significant costs to the system operators. The added costs depend on several factors including market design, performance of renewable generation forecasting and the…

DC power flow approximations are ubiquitous in the electricity industry. However, these linear approximations fail to capture important physical aspects of power flow, such as the reactive power and voltage magnitude, which are crucial in…

Given the historically static nature of low-voltage networks, distribution network companies do not possess tools for dealing with an increasingly variable demand due to the high penetration of distributed energy resources (DER). Within…

Existing modeling approaches for long-duration energy storage (LDES) are often based either on an oversimplified representation of power system operations or limited representation of storage technologies, e.g., evaluation of only a single…

Optimal power flow (OPF) problem is a class of large-scale and non-convex optimization problem. Various algorithms are proposed to solve the challenging OPF problem. Recent studies show that semidefinite programming (SDP) can either provide…
