Secure Electric Power Grid Operation

This thesis examines two problems concerning the secure and reliable operation of the electric power grid. The first part studies the distributed operation of the electric power grid using the power flow problem, which is vital to the operation of the grid. The power flow problem is a feasibility problem for finding an assignment of complex bus voltages that satisfies the power flow equations a...

Effects of Time Delays in the Electric Power Grid

Communication delays in an electric power grid affect the performance of control systems and can cause power losses. This paper analyzes the causes and effects of communication delays. The analysis employs a simulated power network comprising several generators for which braking resistors with intelligent (fuzzy logic) controllers are used for transient stability control. A balanced 3LG (three-...

An Enhanced Implementation of Models for Electric Power Grid Interdiction

Investigating the Effects of Electric Vehicle with Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithm on Power System

Abstract: As fuel prices increase and environmental issues become more serious due to the use of fossil fuels, as well as the expiration of fossil fuels, the researchers are looking to find alternative fossil fuels. Using renewable and green energy like solar energy using photovoltaic systems would be a convenient and cost-effective way. It is important to note that the efficiency of these cell...
