Quantum Approaches to Optimize Electrical Grid Operations

加拿大、克罗地亚和荷兰的物理学家、计算机科学家和工程师之间的这种国际合作将为量子技术（算法和系统）的应用创造新的机会，以优化电网的运行。我们将与国际专家合作，开发用于求解交流潮流平衡方程的量子算法。解决电力流的量子方法将在监管开放市场中对电网运营商产生商业利益。量子技术领域的加拿大公司将有可能利用和建立这种方法。本计画将训练一位本科生学习量子方法之近似与最佳化。

This international collaboration between Physicists, Computer Scientists, and Engineers in Canada, Croatia, Netherlands will create new opportunities for applications of Quantum Technologies (algorithms and systems) for the optimization of operations of Electrical Power Grids. In collaboration with international experts, we will develop quantum algorithms for solving the AC power flow balance equations. The quantum approach for solving the power flow will be of commercial interest to electrical grid operators in regulatory open markets. There will be a possibility for the Canadian companies in the Quantum technologies sector to utilize and build on this approach. This project will train an undergraduate student in quantum methods for approximation and optimization.
