About this title

Synopsis

One of the main requirements of power quality management is the guarantee of an adequate sinusoidal voltage waveform profile at each node of a network. Such a guarantee is facilitated by adaptive systems able to account for unpredictable fluctuations in operating conditions.

A self-contained blend of theory and novel application, this book is a detailed treatment of self-tuning control schemes. The reader moves from power system modelling problems through illustrations of the main adaptive control systems to a detailed description of design methods: Kalman filtering, parameter-identification algorithms and discrete-time controller design are all represented. Case studies address applications issues in the implementation of adaptive voltage control.

Practicing engineers and researchers in power systems and control engineering will find this monograph, written by researchers from each field, to be a valuable synthesis of both, while its accessible style will also appeal to graduate students.

Giuseppe Fusco received the Laurea degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Napoli. Currently he is Associate Professor of Automatic Control at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Cassino, where from 1995 he was Assistant Professor. His research interests mainly deal with adaptive power systems control and mobile vehicles control. He has published more than 40 papers in international journals and conference proceedings. Prof. Fusco is a member of IEEE-CSS and of IFAC.

Mario Russo gained the Laurea degree (MSc) in Electrical Engineering at the University di Napoli, in 1988 he joined the R&D of the Robotics Division in COMAU. Since 1992 he has been Professor of Power Systems at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Cassino, formerly as Assistant and then, from 1998, as Associate Professor. His research activity deals with analysis and control of power plants and power systems. He is co-author of more than 40 papers on international journals and conference proceedings and of a book on power plants (in press). Prof. Russo is a member of AEI (the Italian Institute of Electric and Electronic Engineers), of IEEE-PES and of IFAC (PP&PS Technical Committee).
