Research description:
My research interests include power system
operations and economics, optimization, and applications of artificial
intelligence to solve power system problems. The following are genral
descriptions of projects which I have worked on in the last 5 years:
several projects investigating the impact of the new enregy policy and
environmental policies on system operations, pricing or power in a
de-regulated environment, maintenance scheduling, load forecasting using
time-series analysis, artificial neural networks, fuzzy neural networks,
distribution system analysis and Volt/Var control on radial distribution
systems.
The above work has been for the most part done in collaboration with
a large electric utility in the Southeast using actual data on the
utility's large scale power system.
Laboratory Facilities:
I have a power systems simulation laboratory. It includes:
-Two IBM RISC6000 workstations and 9 Pcs.
-Power system analysis Software tools that can solve Load flow, Optimal
power flow, Unit Commitment on large scale power systems.
-Load forecasting software using artifitial neural networks and
-time-series analysis.
-Software to perform load flow analysis, optimal capacitor placement on
primary distribution feeders.
