Summary:
The group is developing
a comprehensive approach for voltage and oscillatory stability
analysis and control. This group is also actively involved in
the Available Transfer Capability (ATC) evaluation as limited
by voltage as well as oscillatory stability. Reactive power requirements
and pricing required for deregulated environment. These techniques
will be applied to realistic practical power networks.

Summary:
As the digital age grows, the Internet has become one way that
computer users can access data, from a specific location, all
over the world. This web site encompasses a wide range of information
related to power system security along with web-based software
tools. These tools can run simulations under certain operating
constraints that may lead to a system blackout.
Currently this web site is a project in progress.
