  • Abstract
    The electric power infrastructure is transforming into a smarter, increasingly flexible, and more efficient system with the potential to play an integral role in the changing energy landscape. This paper and the accompanying tutorial session at the 2013 American Control Conference provide an overview of this transformation. It then highlights three emerging optimization and controls techniques that can help facilitate the necessary changes to power grid design, operation and management.
