Adaptive Voltage Control in Power Systems

Giuseppe Fusco received the Laurea degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Napoli. Currently he is Associate Professor of Automatic Control at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Cassino, where from 1995 he was Assistant Professor. His research interests mainly deal with adaptive power systems control and mobile vehicles control. He has published more than 40 papers in international journals and conference proceedings. Prof. Fusco is a member of IEEE-CSS and of IFAC. Mario Russo gained the Laurea degree (MSc) in Electrical Engineering at the University di Napoli, in 1988 he joined the R&D of the Robotics Division in COMAU. Since 1992 he has been Professor of Power Systems at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Cassino, formerly as Assistant and then, from 1998, as Associate Professor. His research activity deals with analysis and control of power plants and power systems. He is co-author of more than 40 papers on international journals and conference proceedings and of a book on power plants (in press). Prof. Russo is a member of AEI (the Italian Institute of Electric and Electronic Engineers), of IEEE-PES and of IFAC (PP&PS Technical Committee).
