A mixed-integer nonlinear program is developed to help optimize post-earthquake electric power restoration, and it is applied to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) electric power transmission system. The model determines how many inspection, damage assessment, and repair crews to train and where to have them respond so as to minimize the average time each customer is without power. It is solved using a genetic algorithm, and is tightly coupled with a discrete event simulation model of the restoration process that is used to evaluate each candidate solution. The study's key strengths include the detailed representation of the restoration process provided by coupling with the simulation model, simultaneous consideration of all earthquakes that might affect the system, and evaluation of results through comparison with the current LADWP crew allocations using three different measures of restoration effectiveness and including a representation of uncertainty.

Modelling and control of a wind energy conversion system Sarıbatır, Behçet M.; Sezer, Mesut E. (Informa UK Limited, 1987-7) The dynamical model of a novel low power wind energy conversion system consisting of a wind turbine, an induction generator, a PWM a.c. inverter and a d.c. battery group is obtained. A feedback control law is developed to provide optimum power conversion and arbitrarily fast responses at steady-state. The feedback does not require measurement of the wind speed and therefore is suitable for real applications. The stability of the closed-loop system is analysed using a Liapunov-type practical stability criter...
Enhancement of the bottoming cycle in a gas/steam combined cycle power plant Safyel, Zerrin; Yeşin, Tülay; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) A combined cycle gas/steam power plant combines a gas turbine (topping cycle) with a steam power plant (bottoming cycle) through the use of a heat recovery steam generator. It uses the hot exhaust of the gas turbine to produce steam which is used to generate additional power in the steam power plant. The aim of this study is to establish the different bottoming cycle performances in terms of the main parameters of heat recovery steam generator and steam cycle for a chosen gas turbine cycle. First of all; fo...
Evaluation of Grid-Connected PV Converter Power Module Technologies in Terms of Efficiency, Initial Cost, and Return on Investment Time Oztoprak, Oguzhan; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2019-01-01) The voltage source converter (VSC) of the grid connected photovoltaic (PV) systems is the most technological component in a PV system and contributes to 5-15% of the whole investment. As the cost and energy efficiency of a VSC are two factors that determine the total system economics, the system total cost of ownership (TCO) should be optimized during the VSC design. This paper provides a design methodology for grid connected VSCs considering TCO, the return on investment (ROI) and payback period (PP) as th...
OPTIMAL CONTROLLER DESIGN FOR SPEED GOVERNORS OF HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT Altinoz, Okkes Tolga; KOŞALAY, İLHAN; Gezer, Derya (VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, 2020-06-01) Speed governors have critical importance on hydroelectric power plants, which are adjusted to the rotating speed of hydroelectric generation based on load demand of the grid. The rotating speed is the main factor to balance power generation and load demand. The well-designed controller is needed to control speed governors with high accuracy. A well-defined model is needed to obtain desired control structure. Therefore, in this study, initially, the mathematical model of a hydroelectric power plant is obtain...
Design and Performance Analysis of a Grid Connected PWM-VSI System Kantar, Emre; Usluer, S. Nadir; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2013-11-30) Pulse-width modulation (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSIs) are favorable interface devices to the power grid for renewable energy systems. This paper deals with the design of the LCL-filter and inverter for the grid-connected VSI. A complete design procedure for both reactive and passive components of LCL-filter is demonstrated with a new iterative approach in selection of the filter inductors. The design process for a two-level VSI is clearly illustrated through an example and the dynamic response is inv...
