Graduate assistant for two Graduate level Power Systems Courses (Aug 2013 - May 2014)

Projects:

SYSTEM PLANNING AND DESIGN FOR GENERATION RETIREMENT (PowerWorld) (Dec 2013)

o A case of retiring an old generation plant was given in the case study for the local utility, Metro Light & Power.

o Performing contingency analysis after removing the plant from the given system model.

o Various busses, lines and transformers had to be added in the system to make the system contingency free.

o The losses in system get reduced according to the practicable changes made to make the system economical feasible

with minimum or no contingencies.

Power flows and fault detection

o Extensive use of PowerWorld to study various faults like Short circuit, Line to ground, Double line faults, congestion

and its effects on transmission system taking corrective measures making the system more reliable. Studying Nominal

Bus voltages, Power Factor for Power Quality. Transient and Steady State Fault analysis.

Design and Simulation of a Level Control (feedback) Loop (MATLAB, DCS-DeltaV) (May 2009)

o Designed a real time control system on MATLAB that detects and regulates liquid level for a 5 gallon level control

loop available in college laboratory

o Performed frequency domain analysis of the system using 3 different PID Controller tuning algorithms to determine

the best performing algorithm based on the Gain-Phase margins

o Created and simulated a user interface using DCS for the system (DeltaV)

Real time PQ monitoring (MATLAB) (May 2013)

o Carryout real time Power Quality (PQ) analysis, monitoring and improvement under guidance of Dr. Liquing Yang.

o Detecting the Total Harmonics Distortion (THD) decomposed in real time into its harmonic components using the

Fourier transform.

o The proposed method used a second order generalized integrator that refers to the SOGI -based Frequency Locked

Loop (SOGI-FLL).

Renewable energy sources and their role in electricity deregulation in the united states (Dec 2012)

o Study on the effect of renewable energy penetration on nodal price and nodal reliability in deregulated power system

market.

o Renewable energy penetrations impacts on the system reliability due their chronological nature and their inherent

interdependence of random variables.
