Momoh Howard University HRD 9628655 Howard University has been involved in power systems research for over a decade and is now among the top five schools in the United States for power research, attracting minority students (both undergraduate and graduate), faculty and postdoctoral research associates from across the country as well as from abroad. Recent outreach programs involving high school and pre-college minority students have created a strong awareness and interest in electrical engineering concepts. The Enhancement of Minority Power Research in the Development of Advanced Tools for Emerging needs of Power Systems is designed to meet the challenges of today's power industry with the objective of delivering an economic reliable power supply and enhancing research education for minority students an faculty. The following tasks outlined in this proposal build upon our current strengths: (a) Develop a program to build research of current interest to the US economy. (b) Develop a program to attract, retain and expose minority students (high school, college, graduate and postdoctoral fellows and faculty and visiting professors. (c) Develop and maintain a first-class research center with modem state-of-the-art equipment. (d) Conduct an outreach program via seminars and other activities for high school and pre-college students. The research component of the proposal focuses on investigating two of the top national needs in power systems as identified by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The two topics are in the area of generation and transmission planning and distribution automation. In the generation and transmission planning area, two major priorities are identified- incorporating unit commitment and transmission constraints in the medium term operations planning models or the production costing mod els, and combining unit commitment, optimal power flow and power brokerage functions in an integrated environment for analysis of power scheduling and trading. A multi-objective optimization-based dynamic security-constrained rescheduling model is proposed as a means to guard against potential instability against dynamic contingencies. In the area of distribution automation two key problems, automatic fault location and network reconfiguration. have been selected. The core research involves designing and implementing fault location algorithms using a hybrid expert system/fuzzy logic approach. The network reconfiguration modeling involves use of the interior- point-based mixed-integer-programming optimization algorithms coupled with artificial neural network and a rule-based system for performing switching operations, VAR control and load curtailment. The Electrifcal Engineering department s educational curriculum ensures proper dissemination of our finds through seminars, visiting scientists program and short courses. This proposal will help increase the representation of minority engineers in the field of power engineering by increasing the number of minority students entering graduate and undergraduate programs. It will help develop the infrastructure, thereby providing graduate and undergraduate students state-of-the-art equipment for conducting research. It will assist minority research faculty and staff in conducting and assisting minority students in high level research. Finally, it will provide solutions to top priority research needs of the power industry.

MOMOH Howard University HRD 9628655霍华德大学已经参与了电力系统研究已有十多年了，现在是美国电力研究的前五名学校之一，吸引了少数民族学生（本科生和研究生），来自全国各地以及来自国外的教职员工和博士后研究协会。 最近涉及高中和大学少数族裔学生的外展计划对电气工程概念产生了浓厚的认识和兴趣。 在为电力系统新兴需求开发的高级工具中，少数派电力研究的增强旨在应对当今的电力行业的挑战，目的是提供经济可靠的电力供应，并增强为少数族裔学生的教师的研究教育。 该提案中概述的以下任务是基于我们当前的优势：（a）制定一项计划来建立对美国经济兴趣的研究。 （b）制定一项计划，以吸引，保留和揭露少数族裔学生（高中，大学，毕业生和博士后研究员，教职员工以及访问教授。（c）使用现代的先进设备开发和维护一个一流的研究中心。（d）通过调制设备进行外展计划，通过针对高中和鉴定型号的专门介绍的活动进行宣传计划。电力研究所（EPRI），能源部（DOE）和国家科学基金会（NSF）。这两个主题是发电和传输计划和分销自动化的领域。日程安排和交易。 提出了一种基于多目标优化的动态安全约束重新安排模型，以防止潜在的不稳定，以防止动态意外情况。 在分销自动化领域，两个关键问题：自动故障位置和网络重新配置。已选择。 核心研究涉及使用混合专家系统/模糊逻辑方法设计和实施故障位置算法。 网络重新配置建模涉及使用基于内部的混合组合编程优化算法，并使用人工神经网络以及一个基于规则的系统，用于执行切换操作，VAR控制和负载控制和负载削减。 电动工程系的教育课程可确保通过研讨会，访问科学家计划和短期课程适当地传播我们的发现。 该提案将通过增加少数族裔学生的数量进入研究生和本科课程，从而有助于提高动力工程领域的少数族裔工程师的代表。 它将有助于开发基础设施，从而为进行研究的最先进的设备提供研究生和本科生。 它将帮助少数民族研究教师进行和协助少数民族的高级研究。 最后，它将为电力行业的首要研究需求提供解决方案。
