This paper presents a distributed, massively parallel architecture that enables tractable transmission and distribution locational marginal price (T&DLMP) discovery along with optimal scheduling of centralized generation, decentralized conventional and flexible loads, and distributed energy (DERS).

Electric utilities know that the growth of distributed energy resources, more informed and active customers, and new markets and regulations will force them to take shapes that are very different than the ones they have today.
A Knoxville, Tenn.-based electric-power research, engineering and consulting firm has been working with Southern California Edison to create a foundation that can support whatever transformation electric utilities need to undergo....
One model to run the distribution grid
By Doug Houseman
In the 1960s and 1970s, the transmission operators implemented complete models of their systems to support a wide range of activities. These activities included forecasting, operations, protection, state estimation and dynamic rating of equipment to name a few. Up to the second models are available for any portion of the transmission grid and the uses of these models continue to grow as new sensor...
