Probabilistic Capacity Assessment of Lattice Transmission Towers Under Strong Wind

Serving as one key component of the most important lifeline infrastructure system, transmission towers are vulnerable to multiple nature hazards including strong wind and could pose severe threats to the power system security with possible blackouts under extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes, derechoes, or winter storms. For the security and resiliency of the power system, it is impor...

Transmission Capacity Reservations and Transmission Congestion Contracts

Estimating available capacity of a network connection

Capacity measures for a network connection across the Internet are useful to many applications. Its applicability encompasses QoS guarantees, congestion control and other related areas. In this paper, we define and measure the available capacity of a connection, through observations at endpoints only. Our measurements account for variability of cross traffic that pass through the routers handli...

Locational Prices in Capacity Subscription Market Considering Transmission Limitations

This study focuses on one of the most effective type of capacity markets named Capacity Subscription (CS) market which is predicted to be widely used in the upcoming smart grids. Despite variant researches done about the mechanism and structure of capacity markets, their performances have been rarely tested in the presence of network constraints. Considering this deficiency, we tried to propose...
