Description:
|
The goal of the project is to optimize the load shed recovery(LSR) or system recovery for power plants. 1) Figure out how to make the java tool run. Including finding a toy dataset to play with. This java tool takes as inputs: (a) the current configuration of the electricity grid and (b) the current electricity demand at each network node. The java tool outputs an optimal energy production plan for every generator in the grid. 2) Find a way to simulate a contingency on the java tool. Where a contingency is the loss of a transmission line. After a contingency happens, some of the remaining lines may be overloaded. |
