A Review of the GIC Blocker Placement Problem

no code implementations11 Feb 2024 Arthur K. Barnes, Adam Mate, Russell Bent

Space weather poses a tremendous threat to power systems: geomagnetic disturbances could result in widespread disruptions and long-duration blackouts, including severe damage to system components.

Modeling and Rapid Prototyping of Integrated Transmission-Distribution OPF Formulations with PowerModelsITD.jl

1 code implementation28 Oct 2022 Juan Ospina, David M. Fobes, Russell Bent, Andreas Wächter

However, coupling models and formulations between transmission and distribution is non-trivial, in particular due to the common practice of modeling transmission systems as single-phase, and distribution systems as multi-conductor phase-unbalanced.

Globally Optimal Boresight Alignment of UAV-LiDAR Systems

no code implementations28 Feb 2022 Smitha Gopinath, Hassan L. Hijazi, Adam Collins, Julian Dann Nathan Lemons, Emily Schultz-Fellenz, Russell Bent, Amira Hijazi, Gert Riemersma

In airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems, misalignments between the LiDAR-scanner and the inertial navigation system (INS) mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)'s frame can lead to inaccurate 3D point clouds.

Operation of Natural Gas Pipeline Networks With Storage Under Transient Flow Conditions

no code implementations3 Mar 2021 Sai Krishna Kanth Hari, Kaarthik Sundar, Shriram Srinivasan, Anatoly Zlotnik, Russell Bent

In particular, a reservoir is modeled as a rigid, hollow container that stores gas under isothermal conditions and uniform density, and a well is modeled as a vertical pipe.

A Modified Benders Decomposition for Chance-Constrained Unit Commitment with N-1 Security and Wind Uncertainty

1 code implementation15 Mar 2017 Kaarthik Sundar, Harsha Nagarajan, Line Roald, Sidhant Misra, Russell Bent, Daniel Bienstock

As renewable wind energy penetration rates continue to increase, one of the major challenges facing grid operators is the question of how to control transmission grids in a reliable and a cost-efficient manner.
