The optimal power-flow problem is central to many tasks in the design and operation of
electric power grids. This problem seeks the minimum-cost operating point for an electric …

Transmission switching (TS) has gained significant attention recently. However, barriers still
remain and must be overcome before the technology can be adopted by the industry. The …

Wildfires pose a growing risk to public safety in regions like the western United States, and,
historically, electric power systems have ignited some of the most destructive wildfires. To …

High congestion costs and new congestion patterns, formed by intermittent renewable
generation, demand for more efficient utilization of the transmission system. Transmission …

Enhanced utilization of the existing transmission network is a cheaper and paramount
alternative to building new transmission lines. Flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) …

The flexibility in transmission networks is not fully utilized in existing energy management
systems (EMSs). Corrective transmission switching (CTS) is proposed in this two-part paper …

Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) are important contributors to smart transmission
systems. They can offer some level of power flow control and enhance the transfer capability …

Optimal transmission switching is proposed in recent years to optimize the power system
operational cost in deterministic studies. With the rapid growth of renewable generations, the …

There has been a significant growth of variable renewable generation in the power grid
today. However, the industry still uses deterministic optimization to model and solve the …

Renewable energy sources (RES) has gained a lot of interest recently. The limited
transmission capacity serving RES often leads to network congestion since they are located …
