With the increasing electric power demand, power systems can face to stressed conditions, the operation of power system becomes more complex, and power system will become less secure. Moreover, because of restructuring, the problem of power system security has become a matter of concern in deregulated power industry. Better utilization of available power system capacities by Flexible AC Transmi...

The trend, which appears in the development of modern transmission systems, is the more intensive utilization of existing networks. In addition to this, due to deregulation and reconstruction of the electric power industry, the need arises to transport large blocks of power between areas through defined corridors. Further more, the voltage profile of the remote buses of systems is necessary to ...

differential steering of in-wheel electric vehicle provides the functions of both active steering and power assisted steering with the coupling control of force and displacement transfer characteristic of system. a collaborative optimization model of the differential power-assisted steering system of in-wheel electric vehicle is built, with steering economy as the main system optimization goal,...

Transmission lines are designed to transfer electric power from source locations to distribution networks. However, their lengths are exposed to various faults. Protective relay and fault recorder systems, based on fundamental power frequency signals, are installed to isolate the faulty line and provide the fault position. However, the error is high especially in transmission lines. This work i...

In this paper a novel modulated power filter compensator (MPFC) is used for power quality improvement on transmission side for the smart grid stabilization and efficient utilization. The MPFC is controlled by a novel tri-loop dynamic error driven inter coupled fuzzy controller. The Fuzzy logic controller based on fuzzy logic provides a means of converting a linguistic control strategy based on ...

The chapter covers general issues related to power quality in Electric Arc Furnaces. The use of electric arc furnaces (EAF) for steelmaking has grown dramatically in the last decade. Of the steel made today 36% is produced by the electric arc furnace route and this share will increase to 50 by 2030. The electric arc furnaces are used for melting and refining metals, mainly iron in the steel pro...

This article presents a distributed real-time control system for the southern grid of the Cameroon power system. The southern grid, which supplies over 90 % of the power output in Cameroon, incorporates two remotely located hydro-electric generating stations, a power distribution center, several thermal plants and hundreds of kilometers of transmission lines. The proposed distributed control sy...

The electric power industry requires qualified personnel to support an optimal and safe operation. Since its beginnings, the IIE has been developing different training technologies and systems for CFE, the main utility for generation, transmission and distribution of electric power in Mexico. Some of these endeavors provide tailored instruction considering trainees traits such as learning style...
