...energy conservation, and efficiency with environmental compliance through the inter-disciplinary integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) and power system technologies to facilitate the modernization of grids. The paradigm of smart grid has been brought forward and is being continually...

...activities related to wind integration studies in the US and Europe. Transmission planning for energy resources is different from planning for capacity resources. Those differences are explained, and illustrated with examples from several regions of the US and Europe. Transmission planning for wind is becoming...

This paper presents a comparative eigenvalue analysis of the stability characteristics and small signal dynamics of four different control strategies for Synchronous Machine Emulation (SME) by power electronic converters, considering a Synchronous Machine (SM) as the benchmark system. The four SME...

...architecture with a propagation-stabilized flame in the first stage and an autoignition-stabilized flame in the second stage allows for efficient combustion of hydrogen fuels. However, interactions between the autoignition-stabilized flame and the acoustic modes of the combustor may result in self-sustained...

...major storm hit the Nordic countries at Christmas 2011 causing devastating damages of power lines and long-lasting interruptions for lots of customers. This paper gives a comparison of the main consequences and it addresses improvements in crisis management from previous storms. The paper also gives examples...

...characterized by a large penetration of power electronics converters and power cables, resulting in complex behaviors that can be quite different from traditional AC systems. Analyzing such systems is challenging due to their complexity and the relative lack of experience. In this context, performing laboratory...

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) based on the pre-combustion routine involves a fuel supply and gas turbine combustion system which must handle a fuel with a very high content of Hydrogen. This might cause problems related to ignition and auto-oxidation in the piping in addition to thermo-acoustic instabilities...
