Mission planning is the key capability of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV), especially when an UCAV performs penetration and attack mission in dynamic and adversarial environments. There are two challenges for automated mission planning. First, the environment and mission target maybe encounter dynamic change. Second, the several objectives are often conflicting and adjustable in different mission...
This paper provides an overview of on-going transmission development to meet environmental policies in the State of California. Currently, load serving entities in the State of California are required to procure 20 percent of its energy with renewable generation by 2010 and the Governor's Executive Order sets a target of 33 percent Renewable Portfolio Standard by 2020. To meet this target by 2020,...
This paper proposes an optimization based method of planning reactive power control for electric transmission systems to endow them with the capability of being reconfigured to a secure configuration under a list of contingencies. The overall objective function is to minimize the installation cost of new controls such as mechanically switched capacitors, while satisfying the requirements of voltage...
The CAISO has launched a Renewables Integration Study to assess the impact of renewable resources on the system. This study was initiated to determine if there are any performance related issues associated with the implementation of the Renewables Portfolio Standards (RPS). The RPS mandates utilities and other load serving entities to procure 20 percent of their customers' electricity needs from renewable...
This paper implements a long term VAR planning algorithm developed earlier, which coordinates between network investments that most effectively address steady-state voltage instability and those which most effectively address transient voltage dip problems under severe contingencies. The algorithm is applied on a portion of a large scale system consisting of 16173 buses representing the eastern interconnection...
This paper tests a long term VAR planning algorithm, developed earlier to counter steady state voltage instability issues under severe contingencies, on a portion of a large scale system model consisting of 16173 buses representing Eastern interconnection. The planning method is a mixed integer programming (MIP) based optimization algorithm that uses sensitivity information of performance measures...
