Distributed control systems (DCSs) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have been commonplace in power plants for decades, but the technology has not been stagnant. Today’s systems are beginning ...

Power systems are undergoing a rapid transition toward operation with high penetration of renewable energy and power electronic interfaced devices—often ...

Power system stability and control encompass a broad spectrum of methodologies and technologies aimed at assuring reliable and secure operation of modern electrical grids. With the increasing ...

Because today’s performance-based codes focus on outcomes rather than wiring methods, networked lighting systems can deliver ...

The proposed frequency-fixed grid-forming control strategy controls CIGs as constant voltage sources within their capability limitations and can realize a renewable power system with fixed frequency ...

The virtual power plant (VPP) is an increasingly popular choice for realizing the aggregation, optimization, and control of flexible resources that are not necessarily within the same geographical ...

Steps engineers can take to help mitigate power outage impacts. Paths to PLC redundancy. Paths to PAC redundancy. How can a dual Ethernet ring help with resilience? Power outages are becoming more ...

It shouldn’t be news to those who keep up with the NEC that Art. 708 [Critical Operation Power Systems (COPS)] was added to the Code in the 2008 edition. What may be news to some, however, is that in ...

A power device could change how high voltage systems are designed by simplifying architectures, reducing cost and replacing ...
