Currently, there are multiple national directives that call for the development of a smarter
electrical grid. This includes, but is not limited to, the development of advanced transmission …

Conic optimization has recently emerged as a powerful tool for designing tractable and
guaranteed algorithms for power system operation. On the one hand, tractability is crucial …

The evolving nature of electricity production, transmission, and consumption necessitates an
update to the IEEE's Reliability Test System (RTS), which was last modernized in 1996. The …

Boosting the resilience of power systems is one of the core requirements of smart grid. In this
paper, an integrated resilience response framework is proposed, which not only links the …

This paper addresses the main challenges to the security constrained optimal power flow
(SCOPF) computations. We first discuss the issues related to the SCOPF problem …

Linear active-power-only power flow approximations are pervasive in the planning and
control of power systems. However, AC power systems are governed by a system of …

Currently, there is a national push for a smarter electric grid, one that is more controllable
and flexible. The full control of transmission assets are not currently built into electric network …

The transmission expansion planning (TEP) problem in modern power systems is a large-
scale, mixed-integer, non-linear and non-convex problem. Although remarkable advances …

This paper proposes a distributionally robust optimization approach for the contingency-
constrained unit commitment problem. In our approach, we consider a case where the true …

This paper presents a set of new convex quadratic relaxations for nonlinear and mixed-
integer nonlinear programs arising in power systems. The considered models are motivated …
