We give an overview of a complex systems approach to large blackouts of electric power transmission systems caused by cascading failure. Instead of looking at the details of particular blackouts, we study the statistics and dynamics of series of blackouts with approximate global models. Blackout data from several countries suggest that the frequency of large blackouts is governed by a power law...

Introduction The power quality of distribution systems has a drastic effect on power regulation and consumption. Johan Lundquist of the Chalmers University of Technology in Goteberg, Sweden put it best, stating “The phrase ‘power quality’ has been widely used during the last decade and includes all aspects of events in the system that deviates from normal operation.” This has been especially tr...

In this dissertation, I describe the design and construction of a system which can transfer electric power wirelessly. This is accomplished using inductive, near-field, non-radiative coupling between self-resonant copper helices. In our first experiment, we transfered 60W of power over a distance of 2m with 45% efficiency. In our second experiment, we designed a system which can transfer power ...

In this study, asset management strategies in power distribution systems are investigated chronologically based on short-term, mid-term and long-term time scales. New strategies and their interrelation and coincidence in different time scales are discussed. The central role of Information Technologies (IT) in asset management is emphasized with supportive examples.

Based on the problems caused by today conventional vehicles, much attention has been put on the fuel cell vehicles researches. However, using a fuel cell system is not adequate alone in transportation applications, because the load power profile includes transient that is not compatible with the fuel cell dynamic. To resolve this problem, hybridization of the fuel cell and energy storage device...

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a novel electric power supply chain network model with fuel supply markets that captures both the economic network transactions in energy supply chains and the physical network transmission constraints in the electric power network. The theoretical derivation and analyses are done using the theory of variational inequalities. We then apply the model to a spec...
