This Project Grant award of $390,000.00 from the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) under CFDA 81.135 was granted to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to develop effective algorithms for multi-period Security-Constrained Optimal Power Flow (SCOPF) problems. The project aims to address the complexity of these optimization tasks by focusing on dimensionality and domain reduction, gradual adjustment of existing solutions, and integrating feasibility pump methods with enhanced parallelization. This builds on the university's past successes in optimization competitions, with the goal of advancing transformative energy technologies too early for private-sector investment. The award period runs from November 14, 2025 to November 16, 2027.
