Infrastructure systems are a critical component supporting today's modern society. From
power grids to traffic networks, we rely on these systems to perform as intended, despite
the various sources of uncertainty present in their operation. Designing for system
robustness can help mitigate the impact of failures caused by unexpected events....
The integration of the southern electrical system with the
balance of Thailand has many desirable features, but technical and
economic problems make this a difficult task. It is over 300 miles
between the nearest practical points of the interconnection. In the
next ten years, there will probably be a maximum...
The Corvallis area study is made to help evaluate the local need
for additional system capacity ten years in the future. The product of
the study is an areally detailed projection of electrical demand.
The demand is derived in two steps: the location, nature, and
intensity of specific land uses...
Renewable energy is on the rise in the U.S. Additional efforts will be required to integrate intermittent and decentralized sources of energy into the electrical grid. Given that storing large amounts of electricity is not yet available at a reasonable cost, electric grid operators must match supply and demand at...

Ever-increasing size, complexity and operation costs in modern
power systems have stimulated the intensive study of an optimal
Load Shedding and Generator Rescheduling (LSGR) strategy in the
sense of a secure and economic system operation.
The conventional approach to LSGR has been based on the application of LP (Linear Programming)...
In this work, I address foundational concerns at the interface of institutions, governance structure, transaction costs, and efficiency in public-private contracting. Following transaction cost economic perspective, I build and justify the theoretical models explaining that institutions may affect the economic performance of public-private contracting through the effect of transaction costs....
