On January 20, 2021, Executive Order 13990, "Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis" (E.O. 13990), suspended Executive Order 13920, "Securing the United States Bulk-Power System" (E.O. 13920).
The limited predictability and high variability of renewable generations has brought significant challenges on the real-time operation of bulk power systems. This paper proposes the concept of real-time dispatchability (RTDA) of power systems with variable energy resources, which focuses on investigating the impact of operating constraints and the cost of corrective
A bulk power system is conventionally characterized by a complex structure with a large number of components. Each component generally has a different contribution to the transmission congestion (TC) of a system. Thus, a TC sharing method that can be used to evaluate the contribution of each component to the system TC and recognize the weak parts

This paper proposes a restorability improvement strategy to accelerate system restoration through the implementation of a wind farm-battery energy storage system (WF-BESS) system. The concept of restorability is introduced and a restorability improvement model (RIM) is proposed and formulated as a mixed integer linear programming problem. To simulate the
The bulk power system, or bulk electric system, is a large interconnected electrical system consisting of an aggregate of generation and transmission facilities. The facilities and control systems are necessary for operating an integral electric energy transmission network and maintaining transmission system reliability.
The bulk power system is operated in accordance with mandatory reliability rules that require the system to be operated in such a manner that the loss of one or two elements (either generation or transmission) will not lead to an interruption in power delivery to customers. Consequently, loss of supply generally refers to the loss of a radial
