Network reconfiguration problem has been studied in the literature for more than 20 years. In this study, we extend the problem with one of the today's challenges: integration of renewables at the distribution system level. First, the effect of network reconfiguration on the maximum service capability is examined in a case study. Next, an Optimal Power Flow problem in the form of Semi-Definite Programming...
Harmonization of traditional education with computer-aided instruction is a trending method to achieve high standards in college level education. An online simulation is developed as a computer-aided instruction tool and added to curriculum for a power economics course. This simulation may provide engineering students with artificial energy market trading experience that allows for their participation...
This paper introduces an application of transmission switching in centralized transmission line maintenance scheduling while minimizing total operation cost of the system. The proposed model includes power balance equalities, power generation limits, voltage magnitude limits, ramp-up and down limits, unit minimum up and downtime limits, and power flow limits, and it benefits transmission companies...
The SMaRTS model, Scheduling Maintenance for Reliable Transmission Systems, is developed to schedule transmission line maintenance requests optimally and centrally at the central dispatcher (CD) level. The SMaRTS model promises up to 4% production cost savings by solely shifting the maintenance to an optimal time frame for the system. The model is developed to co-optimize generation unit commitment...
In this paper, a novel solution method is proposed for the optimal topology control problem in AC framework with N-1 reliability. The resultant new topology of the proposed method is guaranteed to yield a better objective function value than the global solution of the problem with the original topology. In order to prove our statement, semi-definite programming relaxation is formulated to find a lower...

The purpose of this experimental study is to provide engineering students an energy trading experience in electricity market and to test a new topology control capability in a market with human participants. Students in electrical engineering department participated in repeated experiments using a developed in-house market-simulation software package. Proposed optimal topology control algorithm guarantees...
