Fault Induced Delayed Voltage Recovery in a Long Inhomogeneous Power Distribution Feeder
Irina Stolbova, Scott Backhaus, Michael Chertkov
We analyze the dynamics of a distribution circuit loaded with many induction motor and subjected to sudden changes in voltage at the beginning of the circuit. As opposed to earlier…
Cascading of Fluctuations in Interdependent Energy Infrastructures: Gas-Grid Coupling
Michael Chertkov, Vladimir Lebedev, Scott Backhaus
The revolution of hydraulic fracturing has dramatically increased the supply and lowered the cost of natural gas in the United States driving an expansion of natural gas-fired gene…
Brittle and Non-Brittle Events in a Continuum-Granular Earthquake Experiment
Drew A. Geller, Robert E. Ecke, Karin A. Dahmen +1
We report moment distribution results from a laboratory earthquake fault experiment consisting of sheared elastic plates separated by a narrow gap filled with a two dimensional gra…
Designing Resilient Electrical Distribution Grids
Emre Yamangil, Russell Bent, Scott Backhaus
Modern society is critically dependent on the services provided by engineered infrastructure networks. When natural disasters (e.g. Hurricane Sandy) occur, the ability of these net…
Efficient Synchronization Stability Metrics for Fault Clearing
Scott Backhaus, Russell Bent, Daniel Bienstock +2
Direct methods can provide rapid screening of the dynamical security of large numbers fault and contingency scenarios by avoiding extensive time simulation. We introduce a computat…
Optimal Sizing of Voltage Control Devices for Distribution Circuit with Intermittent Load
Changhong Zhao, Michael Chertkov, Scott Backhaus
We consider joint control of a switchable capacitor and a D-STATCOM for voltage regulation in a distribution circuit with intermittent load. The control problem is formulated as a…
