This paper presents the implementation of a Linux-based experimental boundary scan environment. Its primary aim is to provide a ¯exible and completely open platform to people interested in experimenting with IEEE 1149.x and related standards and allow them to develop custom applications requiring boundary scan infrastructure control capabilities. The experimental boundary scan test platform is ...

In this paper, new optimal power flow (OPF) techniques are proposed based on multi-objective methodologies to optimize active and reactive power dispatch while maximizing voltage security in power systems. The use of interior point methods together with goal programming and linearly combined objective functions as the basic optimization techniques is explained in detail. The effects of minimizi...

This paper studies physical consequences of unobservable false data injection (FDI) attacks designed only with information inside a sub-network of the power system. The goal of this attack is to overload a chosen target line without being detected via measurements. To overcome the limited information, a multiple linear regression model is developed to learn the relationship between the external...

Among the COTS applications in the X2000 architecture for deep-space missions, the use of commercial bus standards is the highest-payoff COTS application since a bus interface has a global impact and enabling effect on system cost and capability, respectively. While COTS bus standards enable significant cost reductions, it is a great challenge for us to deliver a highly-reliable long-term survi...

This paper describes a methodology for transmission expansion planning (TEP) within a deregulated electricity market. Two objective functions including investment cost (IC) and congestion cost (CC) are considered. The proposed model forms a bi-level optimization problem in which upper level problem represents an independent system operator (ISO) making its decisions on investment while in the l...

Secure and reliable opertation of the grid requires real time monitoring and control of entire power system. Phasor measurement units (PMU) are being deployed for real time monitoring and analysis of power system. The most important factor to be considered in placement problem is observability of power system with minimum number of PMUs. This paper proposed an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) b...

Like the character in the famous Monty Python sketch, IEEE 488 is not dead yet. The decades-old standard’s longevity is in question, however, and you probably have good reason to care about its fight for life. Whether you design test-and-measurement instruments, develop or implement systems that incorporate test-and-measurement products that others design, or simply use such products in your la...

in the deregulated power systems, transmission congestion is one of the significant and main problems of the electrical networks which can cause incremental cost in the energy. this problem has resulted to new challenging issues in different parts of power systems which there was not in the traditional systems or at least had very little importance. transmission congestion happens when the maxi...

This paper presents a new composite index to analyze power system transient stability. Contingency ranking in power system transient stability is a complicated and time consuming task. To prevail over this difficulty, various indices are used. These indices are based on the concept of coherency, transient energy conversion between kinetic and potential energy and three dot products of the s...
