Research description:
Involved in research related to new approaches to Automatic Generation Control (AGC). Developed digital simulators for power system blackstart training involving both power plant operators and transmission/distribution dispatchers. Current research includes development of new AGC methods related to new NERC Control Performance Standards (CPS1 and CPS2).
Laboratory facilities:
A small scale physical based power system laboratory is used. It consists of three M-G sets witha total capacity of 20kW, a commercial Energy Management System, transmission protective relaying, generation protective relaying, and some distribution protective relaying. Over 1000 miles of double circuit three-phase transmission lines are modeled using air-core coils. A digital powwer system simulator is also available for both undergraduate and graduate use.
