From the Department Chair
We are pleased to share the achievementsand activities of the department with you inthis annual report. As the core of thedepartment, our faculty, students and staffcontinue to produce a steady steam ofremarkable accomplishments. Although wecannot address every success here,highlighted in this report are the naming of twoOffice of Naval Research Young Investigators,Raja Ayyanar and Junshan Zhang. We werethe only department in the nation to have morethan one named. Also notable is our nationalranking in the US News and World Reportstudy of graduate programs in engineering.While the magazine’s methodology may becontroversial, our ranking of 29, tied withseven other schools, is recognition of ourachievements.
Leadership change at ASU is evident at manylevels, starting with the arrival of PresidentMichael Crow three years ago. The FultonSchool of Engineering is currently searchingfor a successor to Dean Peter Crouch and Ihave started in the role of Department Chairthis summer. The transition to departmentchair has been smooth due to theenthusiastic support of the ElectricalEngineering staff and faculty, not to mentionthe strong foundation and intense growth builtthrough the energetic leadership of mypredecessor, Stephen Goodnick. We lookforward to his continuing as a major

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
PowerEngineering
at ASUArizona State University’s Power Systems Engineering Research Center
is working on solutions for the nation’s power problems.
We take for granted that electricity is always at our fingertips. With a flip of a switch, we havepower; and the power we have is provided easily and efficiently. Certainly, there is much to learn aboutpower transmission and distribution and how we can use and direct power in a more efficient ways. ThePSERC group at Arizona State University is working on innovative ways that will revolutionize the waywe use and receive power.
In 1975, Arizona State University
recognized the importance and need
for power engineers. The industry-
supported power program was
established and since that time,
Arizona State University’s Power
Systems Engineering Research
Center (PSERC) has been working
on ways to improve performance of
electric power transmission and
distribution systems. PSERC
(www.pserc.org), is a National
Science Foundation
Industry/University Cooperative
Research Center that collaborates
with more than 45 industry partners,
including Arizona-based companies
SRP, APS, Next Phase, Western
Area Power Administration and the
Steel Tube Institute, and with 12
other participating universities.
Currently there are 17 M.S. students
and 21 Ph.D. students enrolled in the
Electrical Power program. PSERC’s
research program focus is on helping
the next generation electric power
system evolve into a competitive,
high-performance component of the
nation’s infrastructure. The ASU
PSERC’s research interests are
divided into several areas including:
Power Systems Analysis, High
Voltage Engineering, Power
Electronics, and Instrumentation/
Control.
Power System Analysis The Power System Analysis
research area conducts research to
apply the latest computer technology
to power system analysis to improve
the security and power reliability.
One project this group is working on
is “islanding” for large power
systems. The concept of a power
system has evolved in the last 60
years in North America to be a very
large, complex system. In North
America there are three large power
system interconnections: the Eastern
Interconnection, the Western
Electricity Coordinating Council, and
the Electric Reliability Council of
Texas. These interconnections serve
virtually all the electric customers in
1212
1313
FEATURE STORY
the United States. Arizona is in the
WECC. The reasons for using an
interconnection rather than a single
generator / single load are: better
reliability is attainable (e.g., if one
generating source fails, one can
obtain electric power from another
source) and the possibility of
purchase of power from places in
some economic plan.
ASU researchers are examining
the issues of power system security
and reliability through the use of
‘islanding’. The basic idea is that
during the most severe disturbances,
rather than cause the entire
interconnection to experience a
disturbance that may cause very
large parts of the interconnection to
go out of service (a blackout),
‘islanding’ prescribes that the system
would temporarily operate not as an
interconnected system but as a
collection of smaller regions called
‘islands.’ The concept of power
system islands, how and when to
form them, and how they might
reduce the chances of large
blackouts are being studied by Drs.
Vijay Vittal and G. T. Heydt. Dr. Vittal
is the Ira A. Fulton Chair of Electrical
Engineering, and Dr. Heydt is an
ASU Regents’ Professor.
High Voltage EngineeringThe High Voltage research work
concentrates on the investigation of
dry band arcing produced by fiber
optic communication cable
deterioration. Fiber optic
communication cables are placed on
high voltage transmission lines. The
high electric field produces dry band
arcing on the cables when they get
wet from fog or light rain. Dr Karady,
Salt River Project Chair professor
built an aging chamber to replicate
the dry band arcing and accelerate
the aging. The results of the study
permit researchers to estimate the
expected cable life time. ASU’s High
Voltage laboratory is also working on
the on the evaluation of electrical
property of foams. The foams are
used for electric insulation but the
electrical breakdown mechanism of
these materials has not been
clarified. The researchers are
performing detailed experimental
investigations and are measuring the
breakdown voltage of different foams.
The ASU high Voltage laboratory
also is used to study the properties of
insulators. Non-ceramic insulators
are polymer plastics that have the
possibility for electrical insulator
applications. Costs and weight
compared to ceramic insulators are
generally superior. Dr Gorur recently
investigated the high frequency
electrical field caused degradation of
polymeric materials; and studied the
aging of non ceramic insulators. Dr.
Gorur is also conducting research
dealing with polymeric materials for
insulation systems including outdoor
insulators and surge arresters for
transmission and distribution,
underground cables, transformer and
apparatus insulation, condition
assessment and life-time predictions,
accelerated aging test development,
electric field computations for optimal
design, composite materials for high
temperature low sag conductors, and
failure analysis.Dr. Karady
Dr. Vittal
Power Electronics and Devices
The Power Electronics research
area is examining the development
of new types of power supplies for
both utility and high technology
applications. Two projects that are
currently in development within this
group is a new type of circuit breaker
and a new type of DC converter.
MEMS
The new circuit breaker or switch is
one that will revolutionize circuit
breaker design. This innovative
technology will change the way power
is supplied. As power flows through
transmission lines to reach the end
user or customer, the power may
need to be interrupted. Currently,
mechanical circuit breakers are being
used to stop or interrupt power.
These switches are large and take a
long time to open and close. The
Power Electronics group is
developing a new circuit breaker or
switch. The new MEMS or
microelectromechanical systems
switch is very small. It opens quickly;
in less than a fraction of a second. In
order to control the opening and
closing of the matrix of small
switches, a magnetic field is used.
The advantages to this new switch;
high speed of opening and closing,
small design, and low power loss.
This new switch would replace
conventional mechanical circuit
breakers. Dr. Heydt says, “This is
likely to be the next generation of
circuit breaker. Circuit breakers have
been around since the 1800s and
have changed very little. This new
technology will be the next generation
of breakers that will be able to handle
high power in a small design – with
better control than large mechanical
breakers.”
DC/DC Converter
The Power Electronics Research
area involves efficient control and
conversion of electric power using
electronic devices. The applications
of these converters range from tiny
power supplies in cell phones to
speed control of multi megawatt
industrial motors.
Research at ASU in this area
focuses on three aspects of power
converters – topologies, control
techniques and new pulse width
modulation (PWM) techniques. Dr.
Ayyanar an Assistant Professor in
EE, adds, “We develop new
topologies or circuit configurations
with the objectives of improving the
power conversion efficiency and
reducing the size of the converters.
We recently developed a compact
power supply for the electric
propulsion applications of NASA

based on a patented, hybrid, zero

Another NSF project focuses on the
concept of integrated magnetics to
reduce the size of these converters.”
A highlight of the research in the
area of converter controls is our
current work on fully modular power
system architecture sponsored by
ONR. The concept is to develop
highly efficient and reliable building
block converter modules and connect
them in any combination of series
and/or parallel connections, at the
input and/or output sides to realize
high power ratings. Such a ‘plug &
play’ type architecture improves
system reliability and significantly
reduces cost through standardization
of components and smaller design
and development time.
Instrumentation/Control
The Instrumentation Research
concentrates on development and
testing of sensor systems for power
generation and transmission
applications. Los Alamos National
Laboratory (LANL) has been a strong
supporter of Dr. Holbert’s
investigations into the application of
commercial microelectromechanical
systems (MEMS) transducers for
nuclear reactors. Such small-sized
MEMS sensors are providing the
means to monitor and diagnose
problems in infrastructures of national
importance as well as the health of
individuals. The sensor location,
whether biological or man-made,
oftentimes represents a harsh
environment, for example due to
radiation. To determine the suitability
of such instrumentation requires
laboratory testing, from which the
collected data are analyzed to
characterize the device in terms of its
response to the harsh environment(s)
in order to develop clear
understanding of the mechanisms of
sensor damage. This includes a
basic understanding of the operation
of the sensors in a hostile
environment, their limitations and
vulnerabilities, and their recovery
characteristics.
The results of testing and analysis
must be applied to the design of the
next generation of devices. Different
situations must be considered, such
as an individual wearing a
pacemaker that incorporates a
MEMS device, which is exposed to
ionizing radiation as part of a routine
chest X-ray. Clearly the device
must be designed and fashioned in
such a manner as to preclude failure
of the pacemaker during an annual
medical exam.
