Estimating Dynamic Load Parameters from Ambient PMU Measurements
In this paper, a novel method to estimate dynamic load parameters via ambient
PMU measurements is proposed. Unlike conventional parameter identification
methods, the proposed algorithm does not require the existence of large
disturbance to power systems, and is able to provide up-to-date dynamic load
parameters consistently and continuously. The accuracy and robustness of the
method are demonstrated through numerical simulations.Comment: The paper has been accepted by IEEE PES general meeting 201

Diagnostic Applications for Micro-Synchrophasor Measurements
This report articulates and justifies the preliminary selection of diagnostic applications for data from micro-synchrophasors (µPMUs) in electric power distribution systems that will be further studied and developed within the scope of the three-year ARPA-e award titled Micro-synchrophasors for Distribution Systems
Assessment of unintentional islanding operations in distribution networks with large induction motors
This paper is aimed at assessing the impact of unintentional islanding operations (IOs) in the presence of large induction motors (IMs) within distribution networks (DNs).

Advanced flight control system study
The architecture, requirements, and system elements of an ultrareliable, advanced flight control system are described. The basic criteria are functional reliability of 10 to the minus 10 power/hour of flight and only 6 month scheduled maintenance. A distributed system architecture is described, including a multiplexed communication system, reliable bus controller, the use of skewed sensor arrays, and actuator interfaces. Test bed and flight evaluation program are proposed
