TL;DR: In this article, a new method to enhance the participation of variable-speed wind energy conversion systems (WECS) in existing frequency regulation mechanisms is presented. But the proposed approach, based on a modified inertial control scheme, takes advantage of the fast response capability associated with electronically-controlled WECS, allowing the kinetic energy stored by rotational masses to be partly and transiently released in order to provide earlier frequency support.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main challenges to the security constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) computations are discussed, focusing mainly on: approaches to reduce the size of the problem by either efficiently identifying the binding contingencies and including only these contingencies in the SCOPF or by using approximate models for the post-contingency states, and the handling of discrete variables.

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for dispatching reactive power when voltage deviations are not acceptable is presented, which is intended for real-time use, determining which control variables are actually effective for solving voltage violations.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple heuristic technique to deal with multiple local minima in nonconvex, nonlinear power system optimization problems by solving a sequence of interior-point subproblems is presented.

TL;DR: Results of running this code on different computers are presented, showing that current technology allows this computationally expensive task to be carried out on line.
