  • Project-02 — Power Flow Tracing for Embedded Transmission Pricing

    Matrix-based upstream/downstream power-flow tracing to attribute line flows and losses to individual generators and loads, enabling usage-based transmission pricing, loss allocation, and auditability from a single operating snapshot. 1) MotivationNew lines and reinforcements require cost recovery that reflects usage. Conventional postage-stamp tariffs ignore who actually uses which corridors, while nodal marginal pricing does not by…

  • Project 1— Smart Load Prioritization in Distribution Systems During Extreme Events

    A Multi Criteria Decision Making electrical load restoration framework that prioritizes and restores distribution-level loads during high-impact, low-frequency (HILF) events by combining expert weighting, TOPSIS (multi-criteria ranking), and a MILP that co-optimizes network-feasible restoration and unserved energy costs. 1) Motivation Extreme events (weather, supply disruptions, partial network failures) force temporary resource inadequacy. Not all loads…
