A stochastic value estimation tool serves as a planning tool with embedded modules for electrical and financial valuation of electric vehicle charging points. The tool is developed in stochastic nature for selected service and technology options. The tool is also valuable as a research tool to create a data set for a possible charging station with details of vehicle brands, state-of-charge at the arrival, charge duration, and waiting time. A case study for one of the biggest shopping malls in Istanbul, Turkey, where welcomes 350–400 electric vehicles per day is analyzed. The results are discussed on performance metrics such as the average waiting time in the queue, utilization of the station and each socket, profit, customer satisfaction, energy, and power consumption.

In the electricity market, different pricing models can be applied to increase market competitiveness. Different electricity systems use different market structures. Uniform marginal pricing, zonal marginal pricing, and nodal marginal pricing methods are commonly used market structures. For markets wishing to move from a uniform pricing structure to a more competitive zonal pricing structure, the determination of price zones is critical for achieving a competitive market that generates accurate price signals. Three different pricing zone detection algorithms are analyzed in this paper including the k-means clustering and queen/rook spatially constraint clustering. Finally, the results of a case study for the Turkish electricity system are shared to compare each method.

Regular transmission maintenance is important to keep the infrastructure resilient and reliable. Delays providing on-time maintenance increase the forced outage rate of those assets, causing unexpected changes in the operating conditions and even catastrophic consequences, such as local blackouts. The current process of maintenance schedule is based on the transmission owners’ choice, with the final decision of system operator about the reliability. The requests are examined on a first-come, first-served basis, which means a regular maintenance request may be rejected, delaying the tasks that should be performed. To incorporate optimization knowledge into the transmission maintenance schedule, this study focuses on the co-optimization of maintenance scheduling and the production cost minimization. The mathematical model co-optimizes generation unit commitment and line maintenance scheduling while maintaining N-1 reliability criterion. Three case studies focusing on reliability, renewable energy delivery, and service efficiency are conducted leading up to 4% production cost savings as compared to the business-as-usual approach.

Harmonization of traditional education with computer-aided instruction is a trending method to achieve high standards in college level education. An online simulation is developed as a computer-aided instruction tool and added to curriculum for a power economics course. This simulation may provide engineering students with artificial energy market trading experience that allows for their participation within various `real world' economic market structures. To date no study has examined the impact of power market simulation on students' learning. The purpose of the present study is to fill this gap by examining the effects of simulation on various cognitive learning categories as defined by Bloom and Fink. 9 survey questions were specifically designed for this purpose by following previous studies' recommendations and avoiding the threat of bias. The self-evaluation survey responses showed that simulation has less impact on Synthesis and Caring than any other categories of learning. The findings and suggestions for educators to improve these categories are presented.

This paper introduces an application of transmission switching in centralized transmission line maintenance scheduling while minimizing total operation cost of the system. The proposed model includes power balance equalities, power generation limits, voltage magnitude limits, ramp-up and down limits, unit minimum up and downtime limits, and power flow limits, and it benefits transmission companies and central dispatcher in terms of lower operation cost. An optimization process is formulated in terms of Mixed Integer Linear Programming. The effectiveness of central outage scheduling is tested with an IEEE model system, and significant cost savings are observed with the proposed model in comparison to a Business-As-Usual model.

Network reconfiguration problem has been studied in the literature for more than 20 years. In this study, we extend the problem with one of the today's challenges: integration of renewables at the distribution system level. First, the effect of network reconfiguration on the maximum service capability is examined in a case study. Next, an Optimal Power Flow problem in the form of Semi-Definite Programming is solved and we observe that, in contrast to general expectation, minimization of power loss and minimization of operation cost actually conflict with each other in network reconfiguration problem when renewables are integrated into the radial system. Multi-objective optimization approach is adopted to show all pareto optimal solutions of the problem. Necessity of uni-directional flow in distribution system is studied and a new policy for radial network is proposed to reduce wasted energy.

The SMaRTS model, Scheduling Maintenance for Reliable Transmission Systems, is developed to schedule transmission line maintenance requests optimally and centrally at the central dispatcher (CD) level. The SMaRTS model promises up to 4% production cost savings by solely shifting the maintenance to an optimal time frame for the system. The model is developed to co-optimize generation unit commitment and transmission line outage coordination with N-1 reliability. The SMaRTS model is flexible enough to be converted to a security constrained unit commitment or to an optimal topology control problem, and its effectiveness is tested on a modified IEEE 30-bus system. The financial benefits of SMaRTS model are discussed in detail, and compared with those from Business-As-Usual (BU) model as adopted by the CDs.

In this paper, a novel solution method is proposed for the optimal topology control problem in AC framework with N-1 reliability. The resultant new topology of the proposed method is guaranteed to yield a better objective function value than the global solution of the problem with the original topology. In order to prove our statement, semi-definite programming relaxation is formulated to find a lower bound to the objective function value of the problem. The proposed method is favorable for parallelization to increase the computational efficiency, and the parallel computing flowchart is presented. Computational time of the algorithm for IEEE test cases is reported. An in-house power market simulator is developed to simulate a market environment complete with optimal topology control mechanism. Simulations held by participating human subjects are analyzed under the subtitles of the total operating cost, real power losses, and locational marginal price (LMP) variance. A simple example is illustrated to show that the resultant network topology may increase the real power losses while still providing a lower operating system cost than that of the original topology.

The purpose of this experimental study is to provide engineering students an energy trading experience in electricity market and to test a new topology control capability in a market with human participants. Students in electrical engineering department participated in repeated experiments using a developed in-house market-simulation software package. Proposed optimal topology control algorithm guarantees to find a better topology that meets at least the same N-1 contingency criterion and yields a better objective function value than the original topology does. A semi-definite programming solver is developed to find a lower bound for an optimal power flow problem. We observed a significant change in pricing when optimal topology control was employed. From direct exposure through participation and submitted reports, students were able to pick up on and intuitively understand how optimal transmission topology control method might yield the most favorable market results.

Large-scale integration into a traditional distribution system of privately owned renewable energy sources, located at the point of load, promise to bring significant engineering and economic advantages to the system as a whole if several grand challenges can be overcome. This paper will first provide specific definitions for the terms distributed generator and feed-in tariff, emerging ideas that have not yet been rigorously defined. It will be shown that the integration of distributed generators into a traditional system present an opportunity to reduce bulk power flow and power loss, decrease the operating cost of the system, and increase equipment lifetime leading to greater overall system reliability. Furthermore, a case study on the integration of distributed generation will be discussed with the following primary result: a 5% reduction on the demand side may lead to a 7–15% reduction in locational marginal price.
