Abstract
How can we ensure reliability and resilience in power systems increasingly supported by non-dispatchable resources? What strategies can effectively manage uncertainty from resource and demand variability? Can advanced optimization and real-time co-simulation inform broader risk-aware planning beyond day-to-day operations? In this talk, I will first introduce the progressive period optimal power flow (PPOPF), an innovative optimization framework designed to enhance dispatch decision-making under uncertainty. While PPOPF traditionally supports reliability and efficiency in transmission grid operations, it also provides new capabilities to strengthen distribution grid resilience under extreme events. Finally, I will discuss broader applications of PPOPF, including proactive vegetation management, system-resilience planning, and stakeholder-focused engagement, and outline research directions to advance grid reliability and resilience.
