- Long-term planning study for PG&E
This study examined the maximum possible load growth in a particular
zone within PG&E’s internal area so that reliability criteria
are not violated. The study included a load and generator sensitivity
analysis to determine the most and least sensitive generator and load
that would pose reliability problems. RMR units in the local zone were
identified for reliable operation.
- Generator interconnection study for
Bechtel Enterprises
The study examined prefeasibility issues of interconnecting a large
generating plant to the California-ISO-controlled power grid. Issues
related to the point of physical interconnection, rights-of-way issues
and engineering cost analyses were addressed as part of this study.
- Generator interconnection study for
Bechtel Enterprises
The study involved using state-of-the-art software to simulate the power
interconnection of a proposed generation plant to a modified base case
corresponding to the year of interconnection. The scope included stability,
fault, and contingency analyses; load flow; and a facilities study.
- Congestion management study for Bechtel
Enterprises
This study included the simulation of the California ISO power network
and the examination of congestion in critical paths of the power network.
The aim of the study was to determine locational advantage of generating
facilities in the interconnected network based on a security constrained
optimal dispatch. The study aimed to correlate generator market power
with its physical location.
- Transmission interconnection study for
USAID
Carried out under the aegis of SARI/E (http://www.sari-energy.org),
this study examined interconnection of asynchronous AC power system
networks in the South Asia region. Issues related to the evacuation
of bulk power from remote sources to densely populated areas were considered
as part of this study.
- Power quality studies for Taiwan Electric
Power Company
This study examined power quality issues associated with the power supply
at an industrial park in the Taiwan Electric Power Company service territory.
Issues related to monitoring and benchmarking power quality problems
using standard indices and various PQ mitigation schemes were examined,
and the economics of each solution were evaluated on a common base.
- Power quality monitoring system for
Singapore Power
This project involved the design and integration of a platform independent,
realtime power quality monitoring system (PQMS). The design provided
for a central database, a custom graphic user interface, and standard
conversion algorithms to import vendor specific data into the central
database. The PQMS was designed to be independent of meter vendors and
included standard power quality definitions from IEEE/IEE standards.
- Economic impact studies of poor power
quality for USAID
Performed under the aegis of SARI/E (http:\\www.sari-energy.org),
this series of studies aims to examine the impact of poor power quality
on the economy of each constituent country of the South Asian region.
Power quality events such as momentary interruptions, unplanned interruptions,
and planned interruptions are considered as part of this study.
