This paper reports on new efforts in the modernization of the basic undergraduate courses and a graduate curriculum in electric power engineering. The main focus of the paper is the modernization of the way power engineering is portrayed to students. The motivation is the recognition of the new deregulated and restructured environment in power engineering and the broadening of the area in gener...

An algorithm for fault detection and classification method for wide-area protection in Korean transmission systems is proposed. The modeling of 345-kV and 765-kV Korean power system transmission networks using the Electro Magnetic Transient Program Restructured Version (EMTPRV) is presented and the algorithm for fault detection and classification in transmission lines is developed. The proposed...

We propose a logic synthesis system that includes power optimization after technology mapping. Our approach is unique in that our post-mapping logic transformations take into account information on circuit delay, capacitance, arrival times, glitches, etc, to provide much better accuracy than previously proposed technology-independent power optimization methods. By changing connections in a mapp...

abstract this paper presents a multiobjective power control algorithm that updates the transmitted power based on local information. the proposed algorithm is expanded by using multiobjective optimization schemes. the objectives to be optimized in this paper are determined so as to reduce the sinr fluctuations as well as maintaining the sinr to an acceptable level with minimizing an average tra...

deregulation policy has caused some changes in the concepts of power systems reliability assessment and enhancement. in this paper, generation reliability is considered, and a method for its assessment using intelligent systems is proposed. also, because of power market and generators’ forced outages stochastic behavior, monte carlo simulation is used for reliability evaluation. generation reli...

This paper presents the laboratory restructuring and development for the course of Electric Machinery, also known as Electric Machines or Energy Conversion, for an integrative teaching approach. It illustrates the laboratory restructuring by using modern computer software and hardware information technology (IT) tools, by introducing DSP and digital control technology, and by restructuring a tr...

Allaz and Vila made the seminal contribution that forward contracts mitigate market power on the spot market. This result is widely quoted and elaborated in studies of restructured power markets, where generators can potentially exploit the special characteristics of this industry in order to extract higher prices. Allaz-Vila established their result under the assumption that the production cap...

As a matter of course, power market uncertainties escalation is by product of power industry restructure on one hand and the unrivalled penetration of renewable energies on the other. Generally, the decision making process in such an uncertain environment faces with different risks. In addition, the performance of real power markets is very close to oligopoly markets, in which, some market play...
