Load frequency control forms an essential component of Automatic Generation Control, which helps to maintain the power system frequency constant while maintaining the tie-line power flow with neighbouring áreas at scheduled values for an interconnected power system. With deregulation, the structure of electric power industry is changed thoroughly with multiple bilateral transactions taking plac...

The paper briefly discusses past practices in developing knowledge-based information systems so-called Knowledge Systems (KS) in the electric power industry (EPI), pointing out some emerging success factors and constraints in their deployment e.g. lack of integration on the standardization front, and the need for Business Process Modeling (BPM) and in many cases for Business Process Re-engineer...

In recent time, the power quality has attracted a lot of attention due to extensive emphasis by power utility on the power system efficiency and end users awareness of power quality issues. This has occurred mainly due to the sensitivity of the modern equipment and the deregulation of the power distribution. In addition, there are usually massive losses both to power utility and end users due t...

As the vital link between sellers and buyers, transmission has long been a focus of academia and industry. With the unveiled power systems deregulation, the changing structure of the electricity supply industry and the emergence of independent power producers and independent customers are bringing transmission pricing into a new focus. Past capital investment must be recognized and future expan...

The proliferation of non-linear and time-variant loads is causing a number of disturbances on the electric network, from a more and more significant distortion of both currents and voltages, to transient disturbances on the supply voltage. In this respect the electric network behaves as an "healthy carrier" of disturbances, so that a disturbance generated by one customer can be distributed to o...

This paper presents a new simplified AGC model for deregulated power systems. New AGC model facilitates us to design the controller without considering bilateral contracts. And also concentrates only the load disturbances not on the contracted loads. New AGC in deregulated power system is modeled by modifying conventional model with inclusion of bilateral contracts. Bilateral contracts will all...

In this work, Particle Swarm Optimizationand Genetic algorithm for the solution of the optimal power flow (OPF) is studied. Traditionally, classical optimization methods were used to effectively solve OPF. But more recently due to incorporation of Flexible A.C. Transmission System (FACTS) devices and deregulation of a power sector, the traditional concepts and practices of power systems are sup...

This paper examines how financial deregulation and the partisan underpinnings of deregulation shaped the path of income inequality in the United States. Using time series data from 1914 to 2010 we assess the effect of partisan politics on financial deregulation and, in turn, the effect of deregulation on income inequality. We find that financial deregulation has generally declined when Democrat...

Deregulation was launched as a concept in the United States more than a decade ago; the European Union Commission has also formally announced that electric deregulation must be completed by the end of 2005. Deregulation or reform has already been a popular topic on the Electricity Power Sector. This paper will discuss the restructuring and regulatory reforms in the PR China’s power sector. It b...
