Although wind power generation improves decarbonization of the electricity sector, its increasing penetration poses new challenges for power systems planning, operation and control. In this paper, we propose a solution approach for Stochastic Optimal Power Flow (SOPF) models under uncertainty in wind power generation. Two complicating issues are ha...

The Optimal Reactive Power Flow (ORPF) problem has been used as an important computational tool for power system planning and operation. Its mixed-discrete version (DORPF) is formulated as a non-convex, non-linear optimization problem with discrete and continuous variables, which is aimed at minimizing the transmission losses while meeting the powe...

Wind energy is becoming an increasingly substantial component of many nations’ energy portfolios. The intermittent nature of wind energy is traded off in a multi-objective sense against its environmental benefits when compared to conventional thermal energy sources. This gives rise to the multi-criteria sustainable dispatch problem considered in th...

Interior/exterior-point methods have been widely used for solving Optimal Reactive Power Flow problems (ORPF). However, the utilization of such methods becomes difficult when transformer taps and/or capacitor/reactor banks are more rigorously represented in the problem formulation by means of discrete control variables. This work investigates the s...

In the context of project management, the attention given to project portfolio management has increased in recent years. The use of mathematical programming for portfolio management is also on the rise, because it integrates the project interactions with the multiple objectives of portfolio management into a single model. Among the possible objecti...

The Environmental and Economic Dispatch Problem with Valve-Point loading effect representation (EEDP-VP) is a multi-objective, nonconvex and non-differentiable optimization problem. Due to these difficulties, it has been solved in the literature mainly by heuristic approaches, while deterministic approaches are scarce. Therefore, the main objective...
