This award provides travel support to enable graduate student participation in a conference held at Carnegie Mellon University on March 8-9, 2011, on the subject of "Emerging Behavior in the Changing Electric Energy Industry."As new and unconventional technologies become connected to the electric power grid, and the system is driven by qualitatively new economic and environmental objectives, new phenomena will emerge. Some of these may lower cost and improve reliability, but some will challenge the stability and reliability of the electricity system. For example, if a large proportion of residential and commercial customers have solar panels that feed electricity into the grid when the sun is shining, but abruptly require power when a cloud passes over the sun, the dynamic stresses on the grid will increase, perhaps to unmanageable levels. A system based on minimizing costs with current rules for preserving stability and reliability could lead to unacceptable service. Before making these changes in technology and management practices, it would be prudent to understand the challenges that the current system faces, the reasons for its relatively good record of reliability, and how the system will be challenged by the changes.The focus of the meeting is on unintended consequences of changes in the electricity system. Topics include causes, modeling, and dynamics of hard-to-predict emerging technical and economic phenomena. The meeting focuses on issues affecting the smart grid, dynamic pricing, and decentralized generation (including net metering for an area with a high penetration of solar self-generation). The objective is to identify fundamental approaches for transforming today's operating and planning industry practices, and to identify supporting policies that can manage short-and long-term uncertainty and ensure sustainable electricity services.

该奖项提供旅行支持，使研究生能够参加2011年3月8日至9日在卡内基梅隆大学举行的会议，主题为“不断变化的电力能源行业中的新兴行为”。“随着新的和非传统的技术与电网连接，以及该系统由新的经济和环境目标驱动，新的现象将出现。其中一些可能会降低成本并提高可靠性，但有些将挑战电力系统的稳定性和可靠性。例如，如果很大一部分住宅和商业客户拥有太阳能电池板，在阳光明媚时向电网供电，但当云层经过太阳时突然需要电力，那么电网上的动态压力将增加，可能达到无法管理的水平。一个以最大限度地降低成本为基础，同时又有保持稳定性和可靠性的现行规则的系统可能会导致无法接受的服务。 在进行技术和管理实践方面的这些改变之前，谨慎的做法是了解当前系统面临的挑战，其相对良好的可靠性记录的原因，以及系统将如何受到这些改变的挑战。会议的重点是电力系统变化的意外后果。 主题包括难以预测的新兴技术和经济现象的原因，建模和动态。会议重点关注影响智能电网、动态定价和分散发电的问题（包括太阳能发电渗透率高的地区的净计量）。目标是确定改变当今运营和规划行业做法的基本方法，并确定能够管理短期和长期不确定性并确保可持续电力服务的支持政策。
