As the demand for energy continues to grow, optimization has risen to the forefront of power
engineering research and development. Continuing in the bestselling tradition of the first …

The locational marginal pricing (LMP) methodology has become the dominant approach in
power markets. Moreover, the dc optimal power flow (DCOPF) model has been applied in …

The current separate transmission and distribution energy management system faces
multiple challenges associated with integrating distributed generators (DGs) into future …

Because distributed generations are extensively integrated into active distribution grids
(ADGs), the transmission and distribution coordinated economic dispatch (TDCED) should …

The increasing integration of renewable energy has highlighted the importance of
interchange trading in multi-area power systems (MAPS). In some existing multi-area …

With substantially increasing penetration levels of wind power, electric power system
flexibility is needed to address the variability and uncertainty of wind power output. Thus, it …

To accommodate the proliferation of microgrids (MGs) that manage various distributed
energy resources (DERs) to ensure secure internal operations, an interactive two-stage …

Financial transmission rights (FTRs) are complementary to the locational marginal pricing of
energy. The basic aim of the FTR mechanism is to guard forward contracts from uncertain …

Commercial buildings increasingly include technologies capable of providing ancillary
services to electric power grids. Features include thermal energy storage inherent in …

Recent work, using electrical distance metrics and concepts from graph theory, has revealed
important results about the electrical connectivity of empiric power systems. Such structural …
