Electrical Event Detection and Monitoring Data Storage from Wide Area Measurement System

A Fast Voltage Collapse Detection and Prevention Based on Wide Area Monitoring and Control

Voltage stability is one of the most important factors in maintaining reliable operation of power systems. When a disturbance occurs in the power system, it usually causes instabilities and sometimes leads to voltage collapse (VC). To avoid such problems, a novel approach called Vector Analysis (VA) is proposed that exploits a new instability detection index to provide wide area voltage stabili...

OceanStore: An Extremely Wide{Area Storage System

OceanStore is a utility infrastructure designed to span the globe and provide continuous access to persistent information. Since this infrastructure is comprised of untrusted servers, data is protected through redundancy and cryptographic techniques. To improve performance, data is allowed to be cached anywhere, anytime. Finally, monitoring of usage patterns allows adaptation to regional outage...

Spatial prediction of soil electrical conductivity using soil axillary data, soft data derived from general linear model and error measurement

     Indirect measurement of soil electrical conductivity (EC) has become a major data source in spatial/temporal monitoring of soil salinity. However, in many cases, the weak correlation between direct and indirect measurement of EC has reduced the accuracy and performance of the predicted maps. The objective of this research was to estimate soil EC based on a general linear model via using se...

Wide-area Monitoring and Control for Power System Grid Security

Probably the most significant development in the future is the evolution of the EMS to a more intelligent, automated system to analyze, predict and prevent events leading to a total system collapse. The transition to a highly automated system is possible in part by the recent advances in communication technology, hardware architecture, web services and installation of synchronized phasor measur...
