An electric power system includes an energy management system configured to control a generated power output level of one or more electric generator resources, and a configuration of two or more high-voltage transmission lines, for efficient operation based, at least in part, on a topology error estimation using binary values corresponding to switch statuses. Increased accuracy of network topology estimates facilitates improved state estimation, which in turn enables production of more highly optimized control of electric generator resources and configuration of high-voltage transmission lines.
