Research description:
The major emphasis of my research has been and is
in the area of accurate modeling of distribution system components. The
models developed have been incorporated into the Radial Distribuiton
Analysis Package (RDAP) that peforms power-flow and short-circuit analysis
of radial distribution feeders. During the past year new models for all
conventional three-phase transformer connections have been developed.
These models lend themselves to the "forward - backward" interative
techniques used by most radial power-flow programs. In addition to my
research in distribution systems, I have supervised graduate research
projects dealing with the correlation of lightning strikes to transmission
line outages.
