The integration of variable renewable energy sources (RES) into power grids has resulted in
a more complex operating environment for power system operators (SO), necessitating the …

The nonflexible operations of transmission networks with high load demand and wind power
increase the likelihood of power congestions and deteriorate grid reliability. This condition …

This monograph explores mathematical issues related to vulnerability analysis of power
grids, with a focus on optimization methods. The target audience is primarily made up of …

With the expansion and enhancement of the power transmission network, short-circuit
current (SCC) has become a major concern in grid operations. While transmission switching …

Independent system operators (ISOs) are responsible for the secure and economic
operation of the power systems. Accordingly, ISOs should solve an optimal power flow to …

In this paper, a stochastic optimal transmission switching (SOTS) model is developed
considering the uncertainty of load, wind power and photovoltaic generation, while …

In power system operation, network topology optimization (NTO) based on bus-branch
model and opening/closing transmission lines has been previously proposed and utilized as …

This paper studies the optimal transmission switching (OTS) problem for power systems,
where certain lines are fixed (uncontrollable) and the remaining ones are controllable via …

A transmission topology control (TC) framework for production cost reduction based on a
shift factor (SF) representation of line flows is proposed. The framework can model topology …

In this article, the optimal transmission switching (OTS) problem is solved in order to
optimize the operation cost of an electrical power system. This is accomplished by …
