Researchers from M2ACS attended the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) conference “Increasing Efficiency through Improved Software.” This conference provides a great opportunity to learn about current industrial issues faced by ISO’s and software developers and also serves as a forum to communicate latest advances in mathematics and computation.
Highlights:
- The meeting agenda and slides from all participants can be found here. The meeting took place from 6/24/2013 through 6/26/2013 at FERC’s HQ in Washington DC.
- Topics of interest were Stochastic Optimization, Transmission Switching and Topology Control, and ACOPF models.
- FERC meeting was attended by Dan Molzhan and Michael Ferris from UW, Victor Zavala and Naiyuan Chiang from ANL, and Jean-Paul Watson and John Siirola from SNL.
