Both methods offer possibilities for voltage control studies and are particularly adapted to expert system implementations. First, control regions are readily determined using rule-based searches among the electric system topology and based on initial reactive power flows. Second, sensitivities of voltages with respect to controls are computed using adjoint-network-based voltage predictions which do not require Jacobian computations and which are well adapted to admittance switching actions. These methods are used in the framework of an expert system currently being developed by the authors. The theories and implementations of both methods are discussed, and results using the IEEE-118 power system are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131826356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this controller is to control the mean arterial pressure under hypertensive conditions, using sodium nitroprusside to maintain the pressure at a desired lower level. The development of the controller makes use of a real-time multitasking software environment which allows operators to make changes on-line. Experiment results show that the controller is efficient in both set point tracking and regulatory control. Its long-range predictive nature also makes the system more robust in dealing with unknown and varying time delay as well as nonminimum phase processes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133675579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
