Graph Theory Helps Synchronize Power Generator Groups
May 17, 2018 | 1 Comment
A joint research team from Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and North Carolina State University has clarified the fundamental principles for achieving the synchronization of power generator groups in power networks. Synchronization is vital for the stable supply of alternating current electric power. Synchronization of generator groups means the phase angles (timing of the […]

The University of the Basque Country GISEL research group of the Department of Electrical Engineering is at work to improve the technology needed to convert alternating current (AC) lines to direct current (DC) lines. Today most electricity transmission lines are carrying AC. In some cases DC lines are also being used. Grid operators and researchers […]

Save That Alternating Electric Current
February 28, 2011 | 2 Comments
From the power plant to the computer you’re using the electricity is coming as alternating current (AC) – electrons going back and forth at either 50 or 60 reversals per second. It’s the best way today to move electricity over long distances. Almost all generation is done with an alternating generator, so right up to […]
