Today's power systems are seeing a paradigm shift under the energy transition, sparkled by electrification of demand, digitalisation systems, and an increasing share decarbonated generation. Most these changes have direct impact on their control centers, forcing them to handle weather-based resources, new interconnections with neighbouring transmission networks, more markets, active distribution micro-grids, greater amounts available data. Unfortunately, translated during past decade small,...

Power networks, responsible for transporting electricity across large geographical regions, are complex infrastructures on which modern life critically depend. Variations in demand and production profiles, with increasing renewable energy integration, as well the high voltage network technology, constitute a real challenge human operators when optimizing transportation while avoiding blackouts. Motivated to investigate potential of AI methods enabling adaptability power operation, we have...

Abstract A 250 year simulation of a strongly eddying global version the Parallel Ocean Program (POP) model reveals new mode intrinsic multidecadal variability, Southern Mode (SOM), with period 40–50 year. The peak‐to‐peak difference in ocean heat content within cycle is up to 60 ZJ. This change results from surface flux variations South Atlantic and propagation temperature anomalies along Antarctic Circumpolar Current into Weddell gyre around 30°E. propagate as deep 5000 m isopycnals between...

We present a massively parallel solver that accelerates DC loadflow computations for power grid topology optimization tasks. Our approach leverages low-rank updates of the Power Transfer Distribution Factors (PTDFs) to represent substation splits, line outages, and reconfigurations without ever refactorizing system. Furthermore, we implement core routines on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), thereby exploiting their high-throughput architecture linear algebra. A two-level decomposition...

Transmission grid congestion increases as the electrification of various sectors requires transmitting more power. Topology control, through substation reconfiguration, can reduce but its potential remains under-exploited in operations. A challenge is modeling topology control problem to align well with objectives and constraints operators. Addressing this challenge, paper investigates application multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) integrate multiple conflicting for power control....

Power grid operators face increasing difficulties in the control room as increase energy demand and shift to renewable introduce new complexities managing congestion maintaining a stable supply. Effective topology requires advanced tools capable of handling multi-objective trade-offs. While Reinforcement Learning (RL) offers promising framework for tackling such challenges, existing Multi-Objective (MORL) approaches fail scale large state action spaces inherent real-world operations.

Abstract The role of standing eddies for the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is discussed. time-mean isopycnal streamfunction decomposed into a time- and zonal-mean part, standing-eddy transient-eddy part. It turns out that construction an MOC with exactly vanishing part has to be performed by zonal integration along depth-dependent horizontal isolines density. In contrast, geostrophic streamlines generally only leads reduced A generalized approach constructing transport...
