TL;DR: A validation process based on a set of metrics observed from actual power system cases that follow the structure, proportions, and parameters of key power system elements is put forth, which can be used in assessing and validating the quality of synthetic power grids.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of energy methods in an online environment to aid in the assessment of system voltage stability is discussed, and a fast algorithm is presented for determining the low voltage power flow solutions with lowest associated energy measures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified key technical issues facing the electric power industry related to global climate change, including impacts on system operating strategies, configuration, and expansion plans of emission-reducing technologies, power infrastructure response to extreme weather events, and impacts of government policies including an expanded use of renewable and alternative energy technologies.

TL;DR: Preliminary results on three new tools to quickly assess the impact of line outages and reclosure on generators are presented, one of which deals with the estimation of the angle across the breaker of an opened line.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the minimum cost commitment of interruptible load (IL) resources to ensure the primary frequency response (PFR) of an interconnected power system remains within specified limits.
