The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $250,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College (UVM) to develop a generalized distributed framework for solving large-scale power grid problems. The project aims to advance the state-of-the-art in nonlinear programming, physics-inspired graph-partitioning, and combinatorial optimization to enable fast and robust simulations and optimizations of the future power grid. Key objectives include leveraging the specialized properties of grid models to achieve computational tractability and numerical stability. The project will have broader impacts by accelerating technologies necessary for the transition to zero-carbon power grids, enabling citizen science efforts, and promoting undergraduate research and education. The project will be conducted solely by UVM and is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2027.
