Point-to-point cross-power-system costs of energy transfer with loss coefficients and contingency calculations.
Economy-A Interchange negotiation (use on-line units) with schedule storage and retrieval to drive the Automatic Generation Control.
Economy-B Interchange negotiation (includes start-up and shut-down) with scheduling. Includes a unit commitment program.
Economic Dispatch with multiple fuel cost curves and power deadbands.
Electrical load forecasting with AIRMA and optimized coefficients. 24 hour-ahead prediction program with hourly up- dates used by a utility since 1987.
Thermal unit commitment of wholly owned and commonly owned generating units
Programs for water resource allocation (hydrothermal coordination). Used since 1985 by system with 6 dam sites and 18 generators.
Optimal power dispatch to allocate generation and reactive injections for a network. Gradients of losses with respect to network reactive and real power for line flow limits, VAR limits, and generation constraints.
HARDWARE DESIGN/INSTALLATION WITH GRAPHIC DISPLAYS
Design and fabrication of automatic start-up, protection, sequencing, speed, and paralleling controls for a 240 kilowatt gas turbine power generation system. 8 turbine driven alternators monitored, started, and stopped in response to system load demands and paralleled onto the power bus.
