Completed
Damping Inter-area Oscillations through Decoupled Modulations PI: Huang, Zhenyu (Henry) The objective of this proposed work is to develop decoupled modulation control for damping inter-area low frequency oscillations, so the damping control can be more effective and easier to design with less interference among different oscillation modes...
Multi-Terminal HVdc PI: Kirkham, Harold The new technology of Voltage Source Converters allows dc lines to be made into networks, much as ac lines are. However, some aspects of networking are different between ac (with which power engineers are familiar) and dc (which has not been networked...

Current
Wide-Area Damping Control Proof-of-Concept PI: Schoenwald, Dave The primary objective of this project is to design and demonstrate a prototype control system for damping inter-area oscillations in large-scale interconnected power systems. This is a collaborative effort involving the Bonneville Power Administration...
