Demand response visualization tool for electric power systems

Forecasting Demand for Electric Power

We are developing a forecaster for daily extremes of demand for electric power encountered in the service area of a large midwestern utility and using this application as a testbed for approaches to input dimension reduction and decomposition of network training. Projection pursuit regression representations and the ability of algorithms like SIR to quickly find reasonable weighting vectors ena...

Analysis and Visualization of Market Power in Electric Power Systems

This paper discusses the assessment and visualization of market power in bulk electricity markets, with the explicit consideration of transmission system constraints. In general, market power is the ability of a particular seller or group of sellers to maintain prices profitably above competitive levels for a significant period of time. When an entity has and exercises market power, it ceases t...

Dynamic Planning the Expansion of Electric Energy Distribution Systems Considering Distributed Generation Resources in the Presence of Power Demand Uncertainty

In this paper, a new strategy based on a dynamic (time-based) model is proposed for expansion planning of electrical energy distribution systems, taking into account distributed generation resources and advantage of the techno-economic approach. In addition to optimal placement and capacity, the proposed model is able to determine the timing of installation / reinforcement of expansion options....

Visualization for Shipboard Power Systems

Shipboard Power Systems (SPS) are geographically spread all along the ship. It consists of various components such as generators, cables, switchboards, circuit-breakers, bus transfer switches and loads, all interconnected with each other and located at various places (decks) on the ship. Geographical information on these components is required to assess the impact of faults caused due to battle...
