This $326,900 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program, supports the development of novel combinatorial optimization techniques for smart grids and power networks at William Marsh Rice University. The key objectives are to advance the knowledge base in microgrids and their utility within the electrical grid structure, create computationally efficient algorithms to address challenges related to battery storage, grid partitioning, and power flow, and disseminate the research findings through publications, conferences, and software. The project aims to enable the rapid adoption of these techniques by the burgeoning smart grid community and provide educational opportunities through a graduate course. The award term is from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027.
