Venayamagoorthy0322894Around the world the demand for electric power is dramatically outpacing available generation and transmission resources. Furthermore, an increasing number of digital users require a higher quality of electricity. Although a number of power system devices are now used to minimize system losses and to improve voltage profiles of the power grid, the response of these power system devices with the existing control is slower than the rate at which changes in the system occur. In this joint project a U.S. scientist from the University of Missouri-Rolla and two Nigerian scientists from Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University will apply computational intelligent techniques to improve the control response of these power system devices, thus decreasing system losses and improving system voltage profiles at all times. This project's research collaboration and educational cooperation will be achieved via faculty and student exchanges between the U.S. and Nigeria. Intelligent coordination of power system devices can improve the quality of service, increase efficiency of the power transmission system, and ultimately decrease the overall production cost. The research findings will have broad application and will contribute to enhancing the operation of electric utilities of both developing and developed countries.

Venayamagoorthy 0322894世界各地对电力的需求大大超过了可用的发电和输电资源。此外，越来越多的数字用户需要更高质量的电力。尽管现在使用许多电力系统设备来最小化系统损耗并改善电网的电压分布，但是这些电力系统设备在现有控制下的响应比系统中发生变化的速率慢。在这个联合项目中，来自密苏里-罗拉大学的一名美国科学家和来自阿布巴卡尔·塔法瓦·巴莱瓦大学的两名尼日利亚科学家将应用计算智能技术来改善这些电力系统设备的控制响应，从而降低系统损耗并始终改善系统电压曲线。该项目的研究合作和教育合作将通过美国和尼日利亚之间的教师和学生交流来实现。电力系统设备的智能协调可以提高服务质量，提高输电系统的效率，最终降低整体生产成本。研究结果将有广泛的应用，并将有助于加强发展中国家和发达国家的电力公用事业的运作。
