Abstract

This work examines how analog computation may be used to help operators of large systems process information and perform intelligent control. Although the authors focus on power applications, this work is meant to act as a resource for all researchers interested in utilizing analog methods. There is significant literature from the first half of the 20th century discussing analog computation: a technology that was, at that time, plagued by the need for bulky hardware and constant manual reconfiguration. In this paper, the authors discuss how modern advances may be used to adapt the technology and make it more practically implementable/user-friendly.
