Enhanced Reliability of Power
System Operation (Kezunovic)
•
•
•
•
PSERC
Wireless communications
Circuit breaker monitoring
Gathering and processing substation data
Using substation data for state estimation,
fault location, switching sequences, etc.
• Comparing simulated data to the data
recorded of in the field
Automated Integration of
Condition Monitoring ( McCalley) PSERC
• Integrate substation condition-based monitoring for
transmission-level transformers and circuit breakers with
system-wide RCM-based maintenance allocation and
optimal scheduling system (developed in another PSercfunded project)
• Use condition monitoring info in estimating equipment
failure rates
• Relate maintenance tasks to failure rate reduction for
circuit breakers
• Use multiagent system software design approach to
integrate substation data
Smart sensor development
(Shoureshi)
PSERC
• Development of an optical-based sensor for
health assessment of high voltage oil-filled
T&D equipment.
• Applications of light absorption spectroscopy
in conditioning of transformer oil, thereby
identifying potential causes of failures.
• Fuzzy-based pattern matching for predictive
failure detection & identification.
Detection, Prevention and
Mitigation of Cascading
Events (Vittal)
•
•
•
PSERC
Detection of major disturbances and
protective relay operations leading to
cascading events.
Wide area measurement based remedial
action.
Adaptive islanding with selective
underfrequency load shedding.
Microgrid Protection and
Control (Lasseter)
PSERC
• Create a simulation test bed using the EMTP
• Investigate the effects of power electronic
sources on short circuit currents in the Microgrid
• Develop and test protection and control
strategies using the test bed simulator
• Implement protection systems on Wisconsin
Electric Machines and Power Electronics
Consortium’s hardware MicroGrida test bed
Identification and Tracking
of Parameters for Generator
(Heydt)
PSERC
• identify the transient and subtransient
parameters of the field winding of a large
synchronous generator from operating data
• develop a visual GUI-driven software package as
a support tool.
• identify shorted field turns and incipient failures
of the field of a large synchronous generator
• track selected parameters in time and with
respect to operation.
