Optimal Operation and Control of Power Systems Using an Algebraic Modelling Language

Prof. Nnamdi Nwulu is a Researcher, Educationist and Engineer. He holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical & Electronic Engineering and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering. His research interests include the application of digital technologies, mathematical optimization techniques and machine learning algorithms in food, energy and water systems.  Prof. Nwulu is currently the Director of the Centre for Food, Energy & Water Systems (CCP-FEWS) at the University of Johannesburg. He is a Professional Engineer registered with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (SMIEEE), a Senior Member of the South African Institute of Electrical Engineers (SMSAIEE) and a Y-rated Researcher by the National Research Foundation of South Africa. Prof. Nwulu is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Digital Food Energy and Water Systems (JD-FEWS), Associate Editor of the IET Renewable Power Generation (IET-RPG) and the African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development (AJSTID).  Saheed Lekan Gbadamosi is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa. He received the B.Tech. (2009) and M.Eng. (2014) degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the Ph.D. (2019) degree in Electrical Engineering. His research interests are centered on power systems and energy optimization with major focus on power quality, system reliability, mathematical modeling, demand response, optimal power flow, power system planning and operation, microgrid, renewable energy systems and nexus of food, energy and water systems. He has researched and modeled an optimization problem considering harmonic and power losses reduction in a large-scale renewable energy system. A novel method of estimating Locational Marginal Price (LMP) related to harmonics power losses contribution was developed. More recently, he has considereda multi-period multi-objective optimization problem with large-scale renewable energy and demand response as well as the reliability assessment of the power system. He is a corporate member of Nigerian Society of Engineers, a Registered Engineer with Council of Regulation for Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and a Candidate Engineer of Engineering Council of South Africa (ESCA). He has authored and co-authored more than 20 peer-reviewed scientific publications.
