Optimized Efficiency to Minimize Transmission Losses and Reduce Overall System Operating Costs of 1100 kV Converter Transformers for Power Transmission System

Abstract Converter transformers are the largest single source of controllable loss in a line-commutated ultra-high-voltage direct-current (UHVDC) converter station, yet they are usually specified with loss-capitalization rules developed for sinusoidally loaded power transformers....

AI-Powered Fault Prediction in 1100-kV Power Transmission Systems: From Algorithm-Driven Protection to Intelligent, Predictive Systems

Abstract Ultra-high-voltage (UHV) 1100-kV ac corridors carry 5-GW-class transfers over hundreds of kilometres, so a slow, missed or unnecessary trip has system-level consequences. Numerical protection is algorithm-driven: it reacts only after a fault and loses reach for high-resi...

Performance Analysis for Leveraging AI to Reduce Energy Consumption of a Data Center: A Safe Deep Reinforcement Learning and Workload-Aware Framework

Abstract Electricity demand from data centers is rising quickly with the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI), and cooling remains the largest non-IT load, particularly in hot-arid climates. This paper presents a performance analysis of leveraging AI to reduce the energy co...

AI-Powered Robotics for Reliable, Stable, and Robust Operation and Maintenance of Power Systems: Architecture, Unified Modeling, and Quantitative Evaluation

Abstract Robotic inspection and artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly used in power-system operation and maintenance (O&M), yet they are usually evaluated in isolation—by image-detection accuracy or robot mobility—rather than by their effect on the quantities utilities ar...

Cableless Power Transmission System: Problems and Prospects

Abstract Cableless power transmission—the transfer of electrical energy through free space rather than a conductor—now spans commodity near-field chargers, standardized electric-vehicle (EV) charging, kilometre-scale microwave and laser beaming, and in-orbit tests of space-based...

Blue Technology in Switchgear for Sustainable Power Transmission Systems: Dielectric, Switching, Life-Cycle and Techno-Economic Modelling of SF₆-Free Clean-Air and Vacuum Gas-Insulated Substations

Abstract Sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆) has been the reference insulating and arc-quenching medium of high-voltage switchgear for six decades, but with a global warming potential of about 24 300 and an atmospheric residence time of the order of 3 200 years it is now the single larges...

Maximising Regenerative Energy Return from Dynamo-Motor Traction Drives in Solar PV-Powered Electric Vehicles for Long-Haul Operation with Strong Stability

Abstract This thesis develops a design method for maximising the energy returned to the traction store of a solar photovoltaic (PV) powered electric vehicle by a dynamo-motor traction drive over a long-haul mission, while maintaining strong small-signal and large-signal stability...
