Mathematical models representing the behavior of electrical loads are an important part any optimal power flow problem. The current state-of-the-art in unbalanced mostly considers wye-connected, constant loads. However, for applications such as conservation voltage reduction, it is crucial to model how consumption depends on network. This article develops a unified framework handle wide variety...

Abstract Traditionally, power systems have been operated to minimize cost while maintaining reliability. However, extreme weather and demand events can affect traditional thermoelectric generation operations due their reliance on water for cooling. This paper contributes a novel multi-objective formulation of the optimal flow (OPF) problem where cost, withdrawal, consumption are minimized. Thro...
