Small Signal Stability of Electric Power Systems, Award in Indian and U.S. Currencies

9302565 Pai描述：本研究将调查增加高压直流（HVDC）线路和控制设备（如静态无功补偿器（SVC）、电力系统稳定器（PSS）和其他柔性交流传输系统（FACTS）设备）对电力系统小信号稳定性的影响。目标是建立一个整体线性化模型，包括上述装置，并检查它们对动态稳定性的相对影响。这项研究对于确定低频振荡和电压崩溃的原因具有重要意义。这两个问题都是美国和印度公用事业公司面临的运营问题。伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校的M.A. Pai教授将与D.P. Sen Gupta & L.R. Padiyar，印度科学研究所，班加罗尔。这个研究团队是独一无二的。Pai是国际公认的使用电力系统稳定性直接方法的领导者，Sen Gupta和Padiyar已经完成了最先进的系统研究，包括FACTS和自适应PSS，并受到高度尊重。范围：本研究将解决美国和印度电力系统领域的一个重要问题。虽然美国积累了很多经验，但印度的学术机构非常善于跟上最先进的技术，而且印度的电力行业在吸收技术方面相当成熟。此次合作的预期成果包括研究论文、伊利诺伊大学的课程开发以及由研究产生的高级专著。＊＊＊

9302565 Pai Description: This research will investigate small signal stability of electric power systems as affected by the addition of High Voltage DC (HVDC) lines and control devices such as Static Var Compensators (SVC), Power System Stabilizer (PSS) and other Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices. The objective will be to develop an overall linearized model to include the above mentioned devices and to examine their relative influence on dynamic stability. This research is important in determining the causes of low frequency oscillations and voltage collapse. Both of these are operating problems faced by utilities in the U.S. and India. Prof. M.A. Pai, University of Illinois Urbana will collaborate with Profs. D.P. Sen Gupta & L.R. Padiyar, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. The research team is exceptional. Pai is an internationally recognized leader in the use of direct methods for power system stability, Sen Gupta and Padiyar have done state-of-the-art system studies involving FACTS and adaptive PSS and are highly respected. Scope: This research will address a problem in the area of power systems that is of importance in the U.S. and India. While there is much accumulated experience in the U.S., the Indian academic institutions are very good at keeping up with state-of-the-art, and the power industry there quite mature in terms of their absorption of technology. The results expected from this collaboration include research papers, course development at the University of Illinois, and an advanced level monograph emanating from the research. ***
