A model-referenced controller for stabilizing large transient swings in power systems
TL;DR: In this article, a control strategy which is considered reasonable for on-line stabilization of the large transient swings that occur in power systems following a major system disturbance is presented. But this strategy is compared to other similar strategies both in terms of philosophy and physical application.

A Detailed Power System Planning Model: Estimating the Long-Run Impact of Carbon-Reducing Policies

TL;DR: A much more detailed representation of the nation's electricity system than has been traditionally used in policy models is employed, which greatly increases the computational difficulty of obtaining optimal solutions, but is necessary to accurately model the location of new investment in generation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
On the Communication Architecture for Wide-Area Real-Time Monitoring in Power Networks
TL;DR: This paper argues that in power networks, the data recorded by the PMUs are spatially correlated and therefore the data admit a sparse representation in a given basis and the number of bits required to reconstruct the PMU data to within a given accuracy at a remote location grows sublinearly with the density of the power network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Data Framing Attack on State Estimation
TL;DR: In this paper, a data framing attack is proposed to exploit the bad data detection and identification mechanisms currently in use at most control centers, where the attack frames meters that are providing correct data as sources of bad data such that the control center will remove useful measurements that would otherwise be used by the state estimator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microprocessor Simulation of Synchronous Machine Dynamics in Real-Time
TL;DR: A new model generator implementation in which a microprocessor solves the discretized generator dynamic equations is described, implemented using digital hardware.
