The prioritization of restoration actions after large power system outages plays a key role in how quickly can be restored. It has been shown that fast and intuitive heuristics for most often result low-quality plans. Meanwhile, mathematical optimization tools find high-quality plans are too slow to applied planning problems practical interest. This work makes significant step closing this qual...

As the U.S. Army develops its 30-year science and technology strategy for ground systems, these systems are seen more as mobile power generation systems than just semi-autonomous mobile protection systems. As ground systems continue to have greater levels of electrification, they are perceived as key to providing power not only to the propulsion and mobility systems, but to protection systems, ...

facts technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. statcom is oneof the most important facts devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper statcom is used...

this paper focuses on multi-objective designing of multi-machine thyristor controlled series compensator (tcsc) using strength pareto evolutionary algorithm (spea). the tcsc parameters designing problem is converted to an optimization problem with the multi-objective function including the desired damping factor and the desired damping ratio of the power system modes, which is solved by a spea ...

The Smart Grid concept introduces an updated architecture and new elements to the traditional power grid. As a result, existing survivability schemes that have been designed with a centralized architecture in mind are either inefficient or no longer applicable. In this paper, we review several solutions that have been suggested in the literature in order to ensure the proper operation of the po...
