A study is presented on power oscillation damping control (POD) using wide area measurements applied to a single static var compensator (SVC). An equivalent power system model representing key characteristics of the Nordic power system is used. Feedback signals from remote phasor measurment units (PMUs) in Norway and Finland are used to damp the critical inter-area modes through a large SVC uni...

With the electric industry undergoing change, increased attention is being focused on power supply reliability and power quality. Power providers and users alike are concerned about reliable power, whether the focus is on interruptions and disturbances or extended outages. Monitoring can provide information about power flow and demand and help to identify the cause of power system disturbances....

With the increase in cyber-physical threats and extreme weather events, resilience of power system has become a problem utmost societal importance. In this paper, we propose novel approach for improvement distribution networks, based on notions persistent homology simplicial neural networks (SNNs) which are new directions graph learning. particular, tools allow us to capture most essential topo...

Modern society relies heavily upon complex and widespread electric grids. In recent years, advanced sensors, intelligent automation, communication networks, and information technologies (IT) have been integrated into the electric grid to enhance its performance and efficiency. Integrating these new technologies has resulted in more interconnections and interdependencies between the physical and...

The electricity network is one of the most important infrastructures in modern industrialized societies. In the case of power outages, the society becomes aware of their dependence on electricity and organizations responsible for recovery work need precise information about the location and the type of the damage, which are usually not available. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly known as...

In this paper we describe research in the areas of maintenance and warranty decision-making for gas turbines used in power plants. We first frame the problem within a larger context of equipment monitoring, diagnostics and maintenance. We then focus on describing and modeling economic issues related to warranty maintenance service from the perspectives of both the consumer (power plant owner) a...

Most of the customer outages are the results of some problems related to distribution systems. Prolonged outages may cause cold load pickup problems because of the increased penetration of thermostaticallycontrolled devices and the loss of diversity among these devices. Since loads higher than normal may be expected after prolonged outages, restoration problems may occur when there is not enoug...

The operation of industrial power systems has become more complex. With outages becoming ever costlier, the requirements system reliability and electrical supply quality have also grown. introduction automation techniques for protection control into facilities can improve both operational efficiency.
