To meet the growing load demand and provide reliable power supply, competition is introduced in the operation of electrical power market. In this scenario, the generators are submitting their energy bids in different time blocks. The market power for the corresponding load demand is determined from the submitted generators bids. In this paper, the total production cost for the corresponding loa...

There has been a global effort to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. In an electric resource scheduling, emission dispatch and load economic dispatch problems should be considered. Using renewable energy resources (RESs), especially wind and solar, can be effective in cutting back emissions associated with power system. Further, the application of electric vehicles (EV) capable of b...

This paper addresses a central concern in modeling and simulating electric grids and the information infrastructure that monitors and controls them. As the electric power infrastructure incorporates modern computing and communication technology, joint (hybrid) simulations of continuous power system models and discrete event models of communication, computation, and control operations become ess...

Electric locomotive is a kind of high power rectifier load, and its load characteristics will have a significant impact to safe, stable and economic operation of power system. This paper mainly analyses load characteristics of harmonic and reactive power for electric locomotive. Simulation model of electric locomotive is set up based on time trigger; it is so better conform to the dynamic chara...

Metal oxide surge arresters (ZNO) are used widely in power system to protect equipments from over voltages. Non uniform potential distribution leads to the depressed service life and low safe reliability, so grading ring is applied on HV surge arrester order to uniform the electric field distribution. One of the problems of arresters is leakage current in power frequency that different paramet...

This paper describes the design and implementation of an experimental electric power system to replace a gasoline system of a 30-feet unmanned autonomous blimp. The project was motivated by limitations and inefficiencies of the gasoline system. Autonomous flight requires extended duration flight and maneuvering capabilities that can be realized with an electric power system. In order to fully e...
