Smart Grid

Generating and utilizing energy economically, efficiently, and sustainably are important engineering issues in this century. New “green” technologies are revolutionizing the power systems to shape the smart grid. Many entities (or agents) of different scales, e.g., utility companies, substations, micro-grids, customers, and appliances, can participate in manipulating the energy production and consumption. We study new approaches to address the optimal power flow problem and design the power flow router for dynamic control of electric power flows. We are also interested in renewable integration, electric vehicles, vehicle-to-grid, and various machine-learning techniques for transient stability assessment and other power grid issues.
