MS#78A. Predicting Outage and Containing Chaos in a Power Grid, 1994
- Subjects: Electrical engineering
- Written: 13 March 1994
- Abstract.
Chaotic fluctuations in the voltage available at different nodes in the
electric power
grid have been observed in connection with unwanted events,
such as voltage collapse and power
outage. The overall peak power in the grid also fluctuates unpredictably.
In this report we
consider techniques for controlling, or at least containing, the fluctuations after their appearance,
as well as the problem of prediction of the peak load.
In other reports, we will consider
avoidance stretegies to prevent the appearance of these unwanted events.
In all cases, the
strategies we consider are based on the theory of complex dynamical systems: chaotic attractors
and their bifurcations.
