Agents for Optimizing Power Distribution Systems – Is this the Future? 

The Optimal Power Flow (OPF), as an optimization problem, is indispensable for the economic and secure operation of power distribution networks. The OPF is crucial for achieving a multitude of operational objectives including:   Solution techniques for the OPF problem have traditionally gravitated around classical deterministic and stochastic mathematical programming methods. These methods allow practitioners to…

Emissions Response through Energy Storage System: A Path Toward Smarter, Cleaner Grid Operations

Across the energy sector, storage has long been recognized as a cornerstone of grid reliability and renewable integration. Yet, the conversation about its environmental role often overlooks how they can actively contribute to carbon reduction. Our recent research, accepted for presentation at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) 2026, introduces a framework for…
