R&D for Electric Power System Reliability Under Emerging Market Structures

随着电力工业在新的法规下进行重组，电力可靠性对美国公众和工业来说是一个非常严重的问题。 电力系统工程的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）将进行一项为期五年的研究，“新兴市场结构下的电力系统可靠性研发”，由能源部资助，与爱迪生技术解决方案，劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室，橡树岭国家实验室和桑迪亚国家实验室进行研究。该研究将解决1）持续评估可靠性问题，以形成概念基础，并为具体的新举措进行必要的市场评估，2）开发新一代实时控制方法，优化安全可靠的电网，3.）制定战略，以促进分布式电力系统技术的大规模集成和4。确定理想的经济市场机制和传统的公用事业运营实践之间的适当平衡，这将导致可靠的低成本能源。

ABSTRACTEEC-9908935THOMASElectric power reliability is a very serious issue to the U.S. public and industry as the electric power industry is restructuring under new regulations. The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Power Systems Engineering will undertake a five-year study, "R&D for Electric Power System Reliability Under Emerging Market Structures", funded by the Department of Energy doing research with Edison Technology Solutions, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory.The research will address 1.) Ongoing assessment of reliability issues to form a conceptional basis and conduct the market assessments necessary for specific new initiatives, 2.) Develop a generation of real-time control methods for optimizing a secure and reliable power grid, 3.) Develop strategies to facilitate large-scale integration of distributed electric system technologies and 4.) Determine the appropriate balance between ideal economic market mechanisms and traditional utility operating practices that will result in reliable low cost energy.
