Data-driven optimization in power systems operations
(2018-06)
Today's power systems are large scale systems consisting of multiple generating stations, load zones (distributors or utilities) and very complex interconnected power transmission networks. One of the major issues for power ...
Theory and practice of profound knowledge: An inquiry into quality and strategy management
(2018-05)
This research develops a theory of profound knowledge, derived from the quality dialog between Walter A. Shewhart and W. Edwards Deming. In 1992, Deming introduced his system of profound knowledge as the mechanism by which ...
Efficient techniques for statistical modeling of calibration and spatio-temporal systems using Gaussian processes
(2018-08)
Gaussian processes (GPs) are one of the most widely used tools in statistical modeling of various engineering systems. In this dissertation, we study three common types of problems in statistical modeling, i.e., prediction, ...
