CAREER: Electric Power Distribution Systems: Theory, Applications and Performance

这个项目的目标是在电力分配系统中发展一个综合的研究和教育计划。配电系统是大规模的低压电网。它们由单独的负载、电源和将它们连接在一起的物理组件组成。目的是对电力分配系统的研究和教育采取统一的方法，包括理论、实际应用和这些应用的性能等相互依存的领域。自动化配电系统功能的愿望从未如此强烈。电力公司的重组导致了客户满意度和公众认知的新前景。为了保持和提高可靠性，以及获得向公众提供信息的能力，配电公司正在寻求在其配电网络中实现自动化选择功能。配电自动化的成功大规模实施始于对配电系统本身的全面了解。本项目试图为这一领域的进展开发一个综合的理论和软件框架。

The goal of this project is to develop an integrated research and education program in electric power distrubution systems. Power distrubution systems are large-scale, low-voltage electric networks. They are composed of individual loads, power sources and the pyhsical components that connect them together. A unified approach toward electric power distribution systems research and education encompassing the interdependent areas of theory, practical applications and the performance of those applications is purposed. The desire to automate functions in electric power distribution systems have never been greater. Restructuring of the electric utilities has resulted in a renewed outlook toward customer satisfaction and public perception. In order to maintain and improve reliability, as well as to obtain the ability to provide information to the public, electric distribution companies are looking to automate select functions in their distribution networks. Successful wide-scale implementation of distribution automation begins with a comprehensive understanding of the distribution system itself. This project sttempts to develop an integrated theoretical and software framework for progress in this area.
