Planning visit to Mexico: Intelligent Techniques to Operation, Control and Diagnosis of Power Plants and Power Systems Including FACTS Devices

这项美洲项目奖金将支持佐治亚理工学院的Ronald Harley博士和密苏里大学罗拉分校的Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy博士提出的计划访问建议。研究人员打算在瓜达拉哈拉的IPN研究中心（cinvestv -IPN）与墨西哥同事Edgar Sanchez博士和Arturo Messina博士会面，并利用Cuernavaca的电气研究所的设施，计划未来的补充研究，旨在扩大他们目前在电力系统神经控制方面的工作的范围和影响。此次合作将允许进一步分析和验证美国方面开发的智能控制算法，使用墨西哥方面独特的实验室和仿真系统。这项工作可以提高电网的稳定性，从而减少意外大停电的可能性，以及它对社会的影响。这一点，再加上对大型旋转发电机和电动机即将发生的故障的早期诊断，将提高能源生产和使用的可靠性和生产率，从而降低对环境的影响，提高生产率。除了知识交流之外，与墨西哥同事的合作将在学生交流、课程作业以及女性和少数民族参与项目方面产生更广泛的影响。

This Americas Program award will support a planning visit proposal from Dr. Ronald Harley of the Georgia Institute of Technology and Dr. Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy of the University of Missouri-Rolla. The researchers intend to meet with Mexican colleagues Dr. Edgar Sanchez and Dr. Arturo Messina at the Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Avanzados de IPN (CINVESTAV-IPN) in Guadalajara, and to use the facilities of the Electric Research Institute in Cuernavaca, in order to plan future complementary research aimed at increasing the scope and impact of their current work in neurocontrol of power systems. The collaboration should allow the further analysis and validation of intelligent control algorithms developed by the U.S. side, using the Mexican side's unique laboratory and simulation systems. The work could lead to improved stability of the electric power grid, thus reducing the possibility of unexpected large power black-outs, and its consequences to society. This, together with the early diagnosis of impending faults in large rotating generators and motors, will increase the reliability and productivity of energy production and usage, resulting in lower environmental impacts and improved productivity. Aside from the intellectual exchanges, the collaboration with their Mexican colleagues will lead to broader impacts in the area of student exchanges, coursework, and the involvement of females and minorities in the project.
