Solid state power electronic devices or Flexible AC Transmission Systems technologies has brought an scope for electric utilities to operate their bulk power flow network close to their thermal limits while maintaining and/or improving network security or reliability. High-power electronic devices can provide unprecedented control over electricity flow in transmission networks. These devices re...

This book contains articles [1–22] that were accepted for publication in a Special Issue of Energies on the subject of “Electric Power Systems Research”. Customers request electric utilities to deliver electric power in a stable, reliable, secure, and sustainable manner from a generation system through transmission and distribution systems to end-users. Consequently, the need to develop advance...

In 2008 security forces in Colombia found that one of the companies hired to repair electric transmission towers from guerrilla attacks had hired guerrilla members to demolish towers in their contracted area of service. As a result, their business boomed as they were called often to repair electric towers. We model this problem as a game between contractors and the power transmission company, w...

Electric variable transmission is a new electromechanical energy conversion device structure, which is especially suitable as the driving force distribution device for hybrid electric vehicles. This paper focuses on the power management strategy of hybrid electric vehicles based on an electric variable transmission, and a kind of hierarchical control ideology is proposed. The control strategy i...
