Summary of Research
Guide to Publications
The power system consists of a vast array of devices that interact, directly
through physical connection and indirectly through communication
systems. The engineering challenges are how to design and operate
this system to meet stringent economic, reliability and social
objectives. Regulatory changes, introducing competition and the open energy
markets, along with technological developments, such as, improved power
electronics and alternative generation technologies, have created a number
of new interesting challenges and the possibility of a fundamentally
different power grid. My research focuses on the computational methods that
can address the complexities and uncertainties inherent in this future power
system.
As a guide to my publications, the list below organizes my research around
problems in: a) transmission and distributions systems b) power system
planning, operations and markets c) controls and communications and d)
modeling and performance analysis of complex information
systems.
