This course will study recent developments in power systems from a
theoretical perspective. We will develop basic models and explore how
tools from optimization, control, stochastic programming and data
analytics can be used to make the grid "smart". We will also highlight
the similarities and differences between power networks and other type
of networks such as communication/transportation networks.
The
course will derive all models from basic principles so no prior power
system knowledge is required. The students are expected to have
mathematical maturity and some background in basic circuit theory,
linear algebra and probability. There is no required textbook.
