 ====== Proposed Projects   ======
+====== Graphical User Interface for Power System Simulator ======
+**Supervisor:** Afshin Rezaei
+The project is to develop a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) for a power system simulator program. Similar to all circuit simulation programs, the GUI should provide a library of the system components. These elements include not only the basic circuit elements such as resistor, capacitor, and inductor but also more complex equipment models such as transformers, generators, etc. The library elements can be dragged and dropped on the design page. The user would be also able to add new elements to the library. Each element has its own dialog box for entering the parameters which is displayed by double-clicking on that element. The elements will be connected by the user. The GUI should provide the common tasks for drawing, removing, grouping, and construction of a circuit. The GUI can write an output data file of the system element parameters and connections and call an available executable program to run. After, the GUI will display the simulation results.
+**Required background:** General CSE408x prerequisites, good programming skill, good knowledge of GUI design tools
+====== Development of a Standalone Power System Optimization Toolbox ======
+**Supervisor:** Afshin Rezaei
+Finding the optimum system condition and maximum/minimum of analytical or numerical functions are of fundamental needs and widely used in various fields of Engineering. This project is to develop a standalone optimization toolbox based on Intel Visual FORTRAN for power system applications. FORTRAN language with its highly developed math library is a powerful tool to solve complicated mathematical problems. A group of such mathematical problems are those dealing with the optimization algorithms particularly the curve fitting and global optimization methods such as genetic algorithm.
+In this project, the developer is expected to explore Intel FORTRAN Math Kernel Library (MKL) and Intel Mathematics and Statistics Library (IMSL) and develop a program code in FORTRAN to call built-in functions and perform the requested optimizations specified by the user. Due to compatibility of the MS Visual Studio with both FORTRAN and C++, some parts of the code can also be developed in C++.
