DNN-based Policies for Stochastic AC OPF

no code implementations4 Dec 2021 Sarthak Gupta, Sidhant Misra, Deepjyoti Deka, Vassilis Kekatos

Stochastic optimal power flow (SOPF) formulations provide a mechanism to handle these uncertainties by computing dispatch decisions and control policies that maintain feasibility under uncertainty.

Exponential Reduction in Sample Complexity with Learning of Ising Model Dynamics

1 code implementation2 Apr 2021 Arkopal Dutt, Andrey Y. Lokhov, Marc Vuffray, Sidhant Misra

We observe that for samples coming from a dynamical process far from equilibrium, the sample complexity reduces exponentially compared to a dynamical process that mixes quickly.

Tractable learning in under-excited power grids

no code implementations4 May 2020 Deepjyoti Deka, Harish Doddi, Sidhant Misra, Murti Salapaka

This paper discusses statistical structure estimation in power grids in the "under-excited" regime, where a subset of internal nodes do not have external injection.

no code implementations NeurIPS 2016 Marc Vuffray, Sidhant Misra, Andrey Y. Lokhov, Michael Chertkov

We prove that with appropriate regularization, the estimator recovers the underlying graph using a number of samples that is logarithmic in the system size p and exponential in the maximum coupling-intensity and maximum node-degree.

A Note on Alternating Minimization Algorithm for the Matrix Completion Problem

no code implementations5 Feb 2016 David Gamarnik, Sidhant Misra

We consider the problem of reconstructing a low rank matrix from a subset of its entries and analyze two variants of the so-called Alternating Minimization algorithm, which has been proposed in the past.
