Abstract

Long-term high-risk investigations into topics related to future planning and operation functions of large-scale electric utilities encompass a wide range of issues. These issues include computer applications, modeling, security assessment, control under uncertainty, distribution systems, protection, reliability, economics/pricing, and knowledge-based systems. The paper discusses the origin of these topics and their relation to future large-scale nonlinear systems problems.<>
