  2. Outline • Introduction • Aim • Educators Involved • Area of Research • POWER SYSTEM SECURITY AND CONTROL • An Overview • Medium of Interaction • Web based • Travel • Activities Planned

  3. Our Department • 48 faculty • Power: 4 + 2 • Over 30 power graduate students • Typical undergraduate power class: 50 • Mainly power systems: Security and dynamics , risk analysis, economics and markets • State of the art power electronics lab

  4. Aim • Building African collaboration with ISU researchers to build further understanding of different power system case studies. • Developing a roadmap for future research activities in power / energy, information systems technology, environmental and social dynamics, and education pedagogy

  5. Educators Involved • Prof. George O. Anderson, Univ. of Botswana • Dr. Tanimu Abubakar, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria • Dr. Venkataramana Ajjarapu (with support from EPNES ISU faculty) • Graduate/Undergraduate Students from these Universities

  6. Research : POWER SYSTEM SECURITY AND CONTROL: Main Area of Expertise : Voltage Stability , Oscillatory Stability, VAR Planning and dispatch , ATC : Sub Area: Power Electronics and Real Time Control The group is developing a comprehensive approach for voltage and oscillatory stability analysis and control. This group is also actively involved in the Available Transfer Capability(ATC) evaluation as limited by voltage as well as oscillatory stability. Reactive power requirements and pricing required for deregulated environment. These techniques will be applied to realistic practical power networks.

  7. Our Group’s Research Overview • Developing techniques that are very effective for stressed power systems • A single tool can be adapted for cost based security with timing of control information • Available Transfer Capability (ATC) is part of this research • Web Based Security Tools for Distance Education

  8. Power Flow, CPF and EQTP • Conventional power flow program calculates steady state solution for a given operating condition. • Continuation power flow (CPF) traces a series of power flow solutions for a given scenario. You can also trace the bottom of the PV curve. • Equilibrium Tracing Program (EQTP) is an extension of CPF. DAE instead of pure power flow equation is used to represent the power system. It has the capability of detecting both voltage and oscillatory instabilities.
