| Abstract
|
This presentation will cover three topics for which the speaker is currently
conducting research. They are
• Simulation software for power system restoration after blackout.
When major faults and catastrophic events lead to the collapse of an entire power system, the system enters into a restorative state. In a restorative state, operators in-charge of restoration try to re-energize the components following a sequence of switching actions based on their previous experiences. A safe and speedy restoration is essential to reduce the costs of blackouts. The software tool with a case-based reasoning subsystem will train and guide the operators to restore power service in an expeditious and correct manner

• Transmission congestion relief by generation rescheduling.
An optimal generation reschedule approach is proposed to relieve transmission congestion. An analysis to determine transmission expansion is also proposed

• Assessment of avoided operating cost to utilities with NUG operations.
In most cases the NUG units are outside direct utility control. The decision to buy energy from NUG has to be an economic one with proper attention given to system reliability. Techniques to assess avoided operating cost to utilities resulting from utilities transactions with NUG are proposed
