Momoh Howard University HRD 9628655 Howard University has been involved in power systems research for over a decade and is now among the top five schools in the United States for power research, attracting minority students (both undergraduate and graduate), faculty and postdoctoral research associates from across the country as well as from abroad. Recent outreach programs involving high school and pre-college minority students have created a strong awareness and interest in electrical engineering concepts. The Enhancement of Minority Power Research in the Development of Advanced Tools for Emerging needs of Power Systems is designed to meet the challenges of today's power industry with the objective of delivering an economic reliable power supply and enhancing research education for minority students an faculty. The following tasks outlined in this proposal build upon our current strengths: (a) Develop a program to build research of current interest to the US economy. (b) Develop a program to attract, retain and expose minority students (high school, college, graduate and postdoctoral fellows and faculty and visiting professors. (c) Develop and maintain a first-class research center with modem state-of-the-art equipment. (d) Conduct an outreach program via seminars and other activities for high school and pre-college students. The research component of the proposal focuses on investigating two of the top national needs in power systems as identified by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The two topics are in the area of generation and transmission planning and distribution automation. In the generation and transmission planning area, two major priorities are identified- incorporating unit commitment and transmission constraints in the medium term operations planning models or the production costing mod els, and combining unit commitment, optimal power flow and power brokerage functions in an integrated environment for analysis of power scheduling and trading. A multi-objective optimization-based dynamic security-constrained rescheduling model is proposed as a means to guard against potential instability against dynamic contingencies. In the area of distribution automation two key problems, automatic fault location and network reconfiguration. have been selected. The core research involves designing and implementing fault location algorithms using a hybrid expert system/fuzzy logic approach. The network reconfiguration modeling involves use of the interior- point-based mixed-integer-programming optimization algorithms coupled with artificial neural network and a rule-based system for performing switching operations, VAR control and load curtailment. The Electrifcal Engineering department s educational curriculum ensures proper dissemination of our finds through seminars, visiting scientists program and short courses. This proposal will help increase the representation of minority engineers in the field of power engineering by increasing the number of minority students entering graduate and undergraduate programs. It will help develop the infrastructure, thereby providing graduate and undergraduate students state-of-the-art equipment for conducting research. It will assist minority research faculty and staff in conducting and assisting minority students in high level research. Finally, it will provide solutions to top priority research needs of the power industry.

Momoh霍华德大学HRD 9628655 霍华德大学从事电力系统研究已有十多年，现在是美国电力研究的前五名学校之一，吸引了来自全国各地以及国外的少数民族学生（本科生和研究生），教师和博士后研究人员。 最近涉及高中和大学预科少数民族学生的外展计划已经创造了电气工程概念的强烈意识和兴趣。 在开发先进工具以满足电力系统新兴需求方面加强少数民族电力研究旨在应对当今电力行业的挑战，其目标是提供经济可靠的电力供应，并加强少数民族学生和教师的研究教育。 本建议中概述的以下任务建立在我们现有的优势之上： （一） 制定一项计划，建立对美国经济当前感兴趣的研究。 （B） 制定一项计划，以吸引，留住和暴露少数民族学生（高中，大学， 研究生和博士后研究员以及教员和客座教授。 （c）第（1）款 发展和维护一流的研究中心，拥有现代化的最先进的设备。 (d)通过研讨会和其他活动为高中和大学预科开展外展计划 学生 该提案的研究部分侧重于调查电力研究所（EPRI），能源部（DOE）和国家科学基金会（NSF）确定的电力系统中的两个最重要的国家需求。 这两个主题是在发电和输电领域 规划和配电自动化。 在发电和输电规划领域，确定了两个主要优先事项-在中期运营规划模型或生产成本模型中纳入机组组合和输电约束，并结合机组组合，优化 电力调度和交易分析的集成环境中的电力流和电力经纪功能。 提出了一种基于多目标优化的动态安全约束重调度模型， 建议作为一种手段，以防止潜在的不稳定性对动态意外事件。 配电网自动化领域的两个关键问题，即故障自动定位和网络重构.已经被选中。 核心研究涉及设计和实现故障定位算法，使用混合专家系统/模糊逻辑方法。 网络重构建模包括使用基于内点的混合整数规划优化算法，结合人工神经网络和基于规则的系统来执行开关操作、VAR控制和负荷削减。 电气工程系的教育课程，确保适当传播我们的 通过研讨会、访问科学家计划和短期课程发现。 该提案将通过增加进入研究生和本科课程的少数民族学生数量，帮助增加少数民族工程师在电力工程领域的代表性。 它将有助于发展基础设施，从而为研究生和本科生提供进行研究的最先进设备。 它将协助少数民族研究教师和工作人员进行和协助少数民族学生进行高水平的研究。 最后，它将为电力行业的首要研究需求提供解决方案。
