Selected projects

These are complete, worked projects that show the methods I apply to real planning problems. Each one is documented in detail, with the full write-up published in Persian on optexpert.org.

Load hosting capacity of a transmission network

Power systems

Load hosting capacity of a transmission network

Estimates how much additional load each bus of the IEEE 24-bus system can host, using a DC optimal power flow model, and maps the results across the network.

Battery siting to reduce renewable curtailment

Power systems

Battery siting to reduce renewable curtailment

Chooses where to place energy storage on a transmission network so that less wind and solar output is curtailed, tested on standard IEEE test systems.

EV charging hosting capacity of a distribution feeder

Power systems

EV charging hosting capacity of a distribution feeder

Finds the maximum EV charging load each bus of a distribution feeder can take under several adoption scenarios and charging profiles, without violating voltage or thermal limits.

Community energy management with solar, storage and V2G

Energy

Community energy management with solar, storage and V2G

Optimal dispatch of rooftop solar, household and shared batteries, and bidirectional EV charging in a 75-home community, within the feeder capacity and with peak reduction.

Integrated energy–water system design and operation

Energy

Integrated energy–water system design and operation

Sizes and schedules hourly operation of a wind, solar, battery and desalination system over a five-year horizon, minimizing cost and carbon emissions.

Dynamic vehicle routing with real-time re-optimization

Logistics

Dynamic vehicle routing with real-time re-optimization

When a new order arrives or data changes, only the remaining part of each route is re-planned, quickly enough to use during operations.

Hospital physician shift scheduling

Healthcare

Hospital physician shift scheduling

Rosters physicians and residents with full shift coverage, rest after night shifts, limits on working days, fair distribution of nights and continuity of care.

Hiring and training plan under budget and deadline

Workforce
