The authors describe how the growing reliance of the electric power industry on information technologies introduces a new class of cyber vulnerability. The principal challenge is to determine how best to counter cyber threats posed by malicious elements, be they terrorists bent on destruction, vandals hacking their way into control or data exchange systems, or even commercial competitors, stealing their adversaries' data or sabotaging their operations. They argue that the key to meeting that challenge successfully is to recognize the mutually supportive roles public and private sectors can play.read more

Journal ArticleDOI
Strategic Power Infrastructure Defense
TL;DR: A new concept for bargaining by multiagents to identify the decision options to reduce the system vulnerability is included and the concept of a flexible configuration of the wide-area grid is substantiated with an area-partitioning algorithm.
Patent
High density combined cycle power plant process
TL;DR: In this article, a process for increasing the specific output of a combined cycle power plant and providing flexibility in the power plant rating without a commensurate increase in the plant heat rate is described.
Patent
High power density combined cycle power plant
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for increasing the specific output of a combined cycle power plant and providing flexibility in the power plant rating, both without a commensurate increase in the plant heat rate, is disclosed.

Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions Grid of the Future White Paper on Review of Recent Reliability Issues and Systems Events
John F. Hauer,Jeffery E. Dagle +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed, analyzed, and evaluated critical reliability issues demonstrated by recent disturbance events in the North America power system, most occurring in this decade, and showed that technical operations staff among the utilities can be very effective at marshaling their forces in the immediate aftermath of a system emergency and that serious disturbances often lead to improved mechanisms for coordinated operation.
