When new construction projects are postponed or cancelled because of socio-economic concerns, greater emphasis is placed on enhanced operational planning—to get the most at the least cost, from the existing projects. Of the approaches that made significant improvement in the ope…
The objective of this dissertation is to develop dynamic models for distributed generations (DG), to investigate their impacts on dynamic stability of power distribution systems, and to design controllers for DGs to improve the dynamic stability of the integrated power distribut…
The global mean surface temperature rise was observed in the past century and proved the warming of the earth climate system. Global warming is believed to continue into the next decades due to unprecedented increases in greenhouse gas emissions. As a consequence of global warmi…
This thesis describes the implementation of the Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices to develop a market-based approach to the problem of transmission congestion management in a Balancing Market. The causes, remedies and pricing methods of transmission congestion are…
Change from a regulated to deregulated structure means that, the centralized maintenance system is not valid any more. In the surveyed published literature, there is not a single model which incorporates all maintenance cost components to analyze the effect of different maintena…
Restructuring has brought tremendous changes to the electricity industry throughout the world. In many electricity markets in operation today, an independent system operator (ISO) plays a very important role of ensuring the economics and security of power system operation. Decis…
This thesis describes a set of novel models for the coordination of long-term resource planning in a competitive market environment. Market participants exposed to competition pursue their own objectives while the objective of regulator or independent system operator (ISO) is to…
In restructured electricity power markets, reliable and economic operation of power systems are two concerned issues for the ISO ( Independent System Operator ). The economic operation of power markets will reduce the cost of electricity production and delivery. The reduction wi…
Power grid is one of the most critical infrastructures in a nation and could suffer a variety of cyber attacks. With the development of Smart Grid, false data injection attack has recently attracted wide research interest. This thesis proposes a false data attack model with inco…
The objective of this dissertation is to design decentralized controllers to enhance the transient stability of power systems. Due to the nonlinearities and complexities of the system, nonlinear control design techniques are required to improve its dynamic performance. In this d…
Preventive Maintenance Schedule (PMS) is a technique used for the scheduling of electric generators in power systems. PMS increases system reliability, and decreases the overall system production and maintenance cost. Recently, expert systems [1], fuzzy logic sets [2], simulated…
