This paper presents an enhanced genetic algorithm for the solution of the optimal power flow with both continuous and discrete control variables. The continuous control variables modeled are unit… (More)
This work presents a decentralized implementation of the DC Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem on a network of workstations. Each workstation is assigned to a regional Transmission System Operator… (More)
This paper addresses two practical methods for electricity generation forecasting of grid-connected PV plants. The first model is based on seasonal ARIMA time-series analysis and is further improved… (More)

The generation maintenance scheduling problem faced by a power producer aims at defining the optimal time intervals for the maintenance of each generating unit. The planning horizon is typically… (More)
The integration of the spot electricity markets in Europe shall lead to multi-area power exchanges that will substitute the local markets. In such scheme, market prices are affected by physical… (More)
Market clearing has always been an issue of great interest and research as liberalized electricity markets evolved over time in many countries. As trading in electricity evolves rapidly, multi-area… (More)
This paper presents a new method for the decentralized solution of the Security Constrained Optimal Power Flow (SCOPF) problem in large interconnected power systems. The method decomposes the overall… (More)
The increasing shares of renewable energy in power systems have a significant impact on the operation of electricity markets and grids worldwide. This paper provides an overview of the main… (More)
