Abstract: In this paper, we develop a novel electric power supply chain network model with fuel supply markets that captures both the economic network transactions in energy supply chains and the physical network transmission constraints in the electric power network. The theoretical derivation and analyses are done using the theory of variational inequalities. We then apply the model to a spec...

This paper is concerned with the estimation of total factor productivity (TFP) growth for the Iranian electric utilities during the period 1980-1993 on the basis of panel data. A translog cost function is used which accommodates firm - specific variability through a one - way error component model. The results show that the Iranian electricity supply industry experienced increasing returns to s...

This talk will discuss the emerging concept of a Cyber-Physical system, and how electric power systems of the future will have a significant cyber (computer) component. Correctness and security issues are discussed under the umbrella of non-interfering components for power systems applications.

This thesis examines two problems concerning the secure and reliable operation of the electric power grid. The first part studies the distributed operation of the electric power grid using the power flow problem, which is vital to the operation of the grid. The power flow problem is a feasibility problem for finding an assignment of complex bus voltages that satisfies the power flow equations a...

Traditional Automatic Train Operation (ATO) algorithms are generally designed based on single-train operation with the objective of improving the speed profile of a single train to reduce mechanical energy consumed under operational constraints. For many electrified rail transit systems where energy cost is calculated at the substation level, minimizing energy consumption needs to consider the ...
