of data gathering, such as existing towers or existing wind recording stations, but land availability for 

establishment of a wind farm, road access, available electric grid connections, zoning regulations and

indicators of potential wind resource such as existing wind data, topography, wind-deformed vegetation

or eolian landforms.

crossed over Puerto Rico, the formulation of a hypothesis to explain such behavior, and to judge the 

decisions made on the administration of the power system during the storm. 

EXAMPLES OF UNDER GRADUATE RESEARCH and DESIGN PROJECTS: 

1. Design of the Distribution System for an Eolic Generation Park. The complete design of the 

Distribution System for an Eolic Generation Park. This included the decision to install an aerial or 

underground system and specification of: transformers, conductors, protection system, grounding 

system, conduits, junction boxes, lighting protection and design of the substation to connect the eolic 

park with the local electric utility. Other requirements included: estimate of materials and construction 

costs, a construction and project management schedule and analysis to determine the required reactive 

compensation. Students: Franchesca Aponte Santiago, Dumeng Roman Johana, Melissa Hernandez 

Bernier, Erika Padilla Ocasio, Magaby Quintero Lopez, Marilyn Ramirez Alvarado, Sharlene 

Rivera Gonzalez, Rodolfo Morales Medina and Giancarlo Santos Santiago. 

2. Environmental and infrastructure impact of eolic generation in Puerto Rico. The study of key 

aspects of eolic generation and their environmental impact with emphasis in: noise, electromagnetic 

interference, avian issues and aesthetic considerations. Student studied the infrastructure impact of 

eolic generation projects specifically on roads, sea ports and sea bottom. Students were aware of socioeconomic and political considerations and implications on eolic generation projects. Students: Camille

T. Ocasio, Verónica Narváez and David Marrero. 

3. Design Projects in Power Electronics: Design, Simulation, Fabrication and Test of Brushless 

Commutator for Permanent Magnets DC Motors. Project involved the preliminary design of a 

brushless commutator including computer simulations of the proposed circuit, identification of 

components to be used including component costs and manufacturer data, necessary tools and 

materials needed to construct and test the commutator, and detailed work schedule of the steps needed 

to complete the design and prototype construction tasks. A working prototype and documented results 

of tests performed to the prototype to ensure its compliance with design specifications was required.

Proposed modifications to solve any problems found during testing, computer simulations of the 

proposed modifications to the commutator circuit were also required. Students: Noel G. Figueroa Urdaz,

Camille Guzmán Torres, Lourdes Orona Jiménez, José J. Rodríguez Alvarez, Reyes M. Ruiz Donate, José 

L. Valenzuela Rivera and Miguel D. Vázquez Peña. 

4. Development of an Animated One-line Equivalent of Puerto Rico’s Existing Electric Power 

System. Project involved the use of the commercially available PowerWorld Simulator, a userfriendly, highly interactive package for engineering analysis, to develop a one-line equivalent of Puerto 

Rico’s existing electric power system. The animated and graphical one-line equivalent of Puerto Rico’s

electric system is geographically accurate as well as electrically equivalent to the generation and 

transmission (115 kV and above) of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA). This equivalent 

has being used by engineering students to study the behavior of Puerto Rico’s electric power grid under 

a variety of system conditions. It will also provides an excellent teaching tool to demonstrate the 

principles of electric power flow, voltage profiles and their relation to reactive power, economic dispatch 

and steady-state system security. Students: Ivette Malpica 

5. Using Virtual Worlds to Explore Electric Power Grids and Plants. Virtual worlds provide the 

capability of visiting spaces difficult to explore because of: time constraints, natural hazards, and cost 

of accessibility or access restrictions. Electric power system courses are constrained to show primary

components of a power system using drawings and photos. Development of virtual worlds tailored to 

suit the topic being discussed is an attractive solution. Student may browse around the system learning 

as they go along. They provide motivation and the electric utility may use these tools to familiarize new 

personnel with their system and inform and educate non-technically trained decision- makers using 

accurate and visually attractive presentations. Two undergraduate students participated in the project

developing virtual worlds of a power plant. Students: Iomar Vargas and Emmanuel Arzuaga.

ADDITIONAL EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION: 

Graduate Coursework: 

23 hours in Power Systems, 23 hours in optics, 12 hours in electromagnetics, 9 hours in Control Systems, 

12 hours in Math and 9 hours in probability and statistics. 

Salient Ph.D. Research Contributions: 

• Developed a method that allows risk-based security assessment in an operating environment 

considering any type of security violation. 

• Developed, using probability theory, expressions to calculate the conditional probability of insecurity 

given a fault occurs for thermal overloads and transient instability. 

• Developed a method to generate risk-based operating limits in terms of parameters available to 

system operators, illustrated using nomograms based on risk rather than deterministic limits. The 

change from deterministic to risk-based operating limits is transparent to system operators since they

just see new nomograms or tables.

Participated in investigation of the effect of special protection schemes on risk of transient instability.
