Abstract
The
primary objectives in power system restoration are: reduction of outage
duration, minimization of the un-served loads, and avoidance of equipment
damage. The restoration process depends on power system characteristics as
related to real and reactive power balance, and the installed control and
protective systems. The process is also a function of pre-disturbance
conditions, post-disturbance status, and post-disturbance target systems.
This one-day tutorial covers the following twelve topics:
Topic 1: Restoration Overview and Issues
Topic 2: Real Power Balance and Control of Frequency
Topic 3: Reactive Power Balance and Control of Over-voltages
Topic 4: Reactive Power Resources and Black-start
Topic 5: Protective System Issues and Controlled Separation
Topic 6: Restoration
Dynamics and Graceful Degradation

Biography
Mr. Mike Adibi earned
the B. Sc. E. E. (honors) in 1950 from the University of Birmingham, U.K.,
the M.E.E. in 1960 from Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, New York City,
and Nuclear Engineering in 1970 at the University of Santa Clara,
California. He has spent over 50 years in the service of electric utilities,
assuming various responsibilities including; manufacturing and testing of
heavy electrical equipment at General Electric Company, U.K. (1950-1951);
operation and maintenance of large thermal power plants at British
Petroleum, Iran (1952-1955), where he was promoted to power plant
superintendent; and power system planning at EBASCO International, New York
(1956-1959), where he was in charge of developing 10-year construction
programs for several Central and South American Utilities.
In 1960, Mr. Adibi
joined IBM Corporation, developing computer applications in the engineering
and operation of electric utilities. As the industry consultant, he
conducted and participated in many R&D projects related to operation of
power system and power plant operation, and advanced network functions. He
was the recipient of the IBM Industry Grant to study the computer-based fuel
model for the power industry.
Since 1979 he has
assumed industry leadership by founding and chairing the IEEE System
Restoration Working Group. He has addressed many restoration issues in the
27 IEEE Transaction papers in which he is the principal author, and he has
organized many paper and panel sessions at the meetings of the IEEE Power
Engineering Society. His effort culminated with the publication of “Power
System Restoration – Methodologies and Implementation of Strategies,” by the
IEEE Pres in alliance with John Wiley & Sons. Mr. Adibi is the recipient of
the IEEE Power Engineering Society's prize for his paper on "Power System
Restoration Planning." He is an IEEE Life Fellow.
Mr. Adibi is currently
president of IRD Corporation, Chartered Engineer, Institute of Electrical
Engineers (IET), U.K., and a registered professional engineer in the state
of Maryland, USA.
