Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Power Systems Engineering (PSerc)

电力工业必须对国家电力系统进行有管理的重新设计，以适应放松管制和电力需求和经济条件的快速变化。去年春天，一项计划拨款被授予研究电力系统工程的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）的可行性，以解决创建工具和模型所需的研究，以帮助未来高性能电力系统的技术设计。由康奈尔大学、威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校、伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校、加州大学伯克利分校和霍华德大学作为附属机构组成的多所大学电力系统工程I/UCRC是可行的。该中心的研究议程将涉及：1)用于分析新电力业务替代范例的仿真工具；2)竞争性电力的市场机制；3)统一承诺与进度竞价模拟网络平台；4)可用传输能力；5)数据校准；6)振动的实时控制。电力研究所计划分担部分活动的费用。该中心的费用由电气和通信系统部工程系统/电力系统项目主任C. Singh博士分摊。

Abstract EEC-9616221 Thomas The power industry must undertake a managed redesign of the Nation's Power System so that it can adopt to deregulation and to rapid changes in the power requirements and economic conditions. A planning grant was awarded last spring to study the feasibility of an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Power Systems Engineering to address the research needed to create the tools and models to aid in the technical design of a future high-performance electric power system. A multi-university I/UCRC in Power Systems Engineering, involving Cornell University, The University of Wisconsin-Madison, The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and The University of California, Berkeley, and Howard University as an affiliate, is viable. The research agenda for the Center will address: 1) Simulation Tools for Analysis of Alternative Paradigms for New Electricity Business; 2) Market Mechanisms for Competitive Electricity; 3) An Internet Platform for Simulating Competitive Bidding for Unist Commitment and Schedule; 4) Available Transfer Capability; 5) Data Calibration; and 6) Real-Time Control of Oscillations. The Electric Power Research Institute is planning to cost share some of the activities. The Center is being cost-shared with Dr. C. Singh, Program Director, Engineering Systems/Power Systems Program, Division of Electrical and Communications Systems.
