U.S.-Brazil Collaborative Research: Feasibility Studies to Implement Neurocontrollers in Real Time in Brazil

这个美国-巴西奖将支持Ganesh K博士的合作研究。Venayagamoorthy，罗纳德哈雷和唐纳德C. Wunsch，密苏里大学罗拉分校与巴西公用事业研究中心（CEPEL）的纳尔逊马丁斯博士和Djalma M。Falcao，里约热内卢联邦大学（COPPE），巴西里约热内卢。 这个国际团队将利用PI在早期项目中开发的智能控制技术，致力于提高巴西现有和未来发电和输电系统的生产率。 巴西国家电力研究和开发组织CEPEL将为美国团队提供小信号稳定性计划，以分析巴西电力系统。 巴西人已经进行了各种调查，以寻找优化其电力系统的方法，并在这方面处于世界领先地位。该项目有可能导致非线性控制器，以降低能源和传输成本。 美国电网在规模和面临的挑战方面与巴西电网相当。 这项工作的结果将使美国和巴西受益。

This U.S.-Brazil award will support the collaborative research of Drs. Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy, Ronald Harley, and Donald C. Wunsch, University of Missouri-Rolla to work with Dr. Nelson Martins, Brazilian Utilities Research Center (CEPEL), and Dr. Djalma M. Falcao, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (COPPE), in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This international team will work to improve the productivity of the existing and future Brazilian power generation and transmission systems using the intelligent control techniques developed by the PIs in an earlier project. CEPEL, the Brazilian national electricity research and development organization, will provide a small-signal stability program for the U.S. team to analyze the Brazilian power system. The Brazilians have already carried out various investigations into finding methods to optimize their power system, and are among world leaders in this regard. This project has the potential to lead to nonlinear controllers for reducing costs of energy and transmission. The U.S. electric power grid is comparable to the Brazilian grid in terms of size and challenges faced. The results of this work will benefit both the U.S. and Brazil.
