Workshop on Research Directions for Cyber Physical Systems Related to Future Energy and Power Grids, Arlington, VA, March 17-18, 2015

与未来能源和电力电网有关的网络物理系统研究方向研讨会未来电网的规划和发展需要更多的研究，特别是可以在未来5-10年内使用的研究。许多组织，如NSF、DOE、EPRI、ARPA-E和NIST，都专注于研究的不同方面，从短期、两到三年的范围，到长期的、战略的、20-30年的范围。许多研讨会、专题讨论会和会议都支持研究和开发成果的交流。然而，在5-10年的时间范围内，研究工作目前没有得到很好的协调，在这个时间范围内，可以部署切实和创新的商业解决方案。这个拟议的研讨会将集中在这5-10年的时间范围内，目标是聚集国家行业和研究社区的领导人，以及来自最终用户和制造业的高管，讨论和协调研究战略和相关行动计划，以满足行业对新解决方案的需求，以应对影响电网的新发展。主要目标是积极让来自不同行业部门、政府组织和大学的主要参与者在研究优先事项和相关活动中建立共识并制定适当的方向。重要的第一步将是召集利益攸关方的广泛和有代表性的大会，以启动这一努力，这次研讨会将完成这一努力。空间活动包括：-邀请一位关键的行业人物为研讨会开幕，概述动机，并为如何在感兴趣的范围内实现目标和目的搭建讨论舞台-邀请主要公用事业和制造业的首席执行官陈述他们对未来5-10年的研究需求和技术部署的要求和期望-邀请大公司的CTO和CIO就5-10年内需要在控制、通信和信息基础设施方面取得哪些进展征求意见-吸引NSF、能源部、EPRI、ARPA-E和NIST的高层管理人员，其他适当机构将阐明其5-10年计划--确保学术界和研究组织的公认专家参与，他们可以补充讨论或根据需要回答问题--制定一份5-10年期间预期研究成就的优先和可实现清单，并对能源网络-物理系统进行可衡量的改进--制定一项行动计划，以确保有足够的资金来实现预定目标，为产学研合作伙伴关系提供新的合作供资机会奠定基础。

Workshop on Research Directions for Cyber Physical Systems Related to Future Energy and Power GridsThe planning and development of the future grid requires additional research, particularly research that can be used within the next 5-10 years. Many organizations such as NSF, DOE, EPRI, ARPA-E, and NIST have focused on different aspects of the research ranging from a short-term, two to three year horizon, to a long term, strategic, 20-30 year horizon. Many workshops, symposia, and conferences have supported the exchange of research and development results. However, the research efforts are not currently well coordinated for the time horizon of 5-10 years where tangible and innovative commercial solutions could be deployed. This proposed workshop will focus on this 5-10 year time horizon with a goal of bringing together national industry and research community leaders, as well as the executives from the end-user and manufacturing industry, to discuss and coordinate a research strategy and related action plan to meet industry needs for new solutions in response to the new developments affecting the grid.The main objectives are to actively involve major players from various industry sectors, government organizations, and universities to create a common understanding of and map out the appropriate directions in research priorities and associated activities. An important initial step will be to convene a broad and representative assembly of the stakeholders to initiate this effort, which this workshop will accomplish. Spacific activities include:- Invite a key industry figure to open the workshop, outline the motivation, and set the discussion stage for how the goals and objectives may be achieved over the horizon of interest- Invite CEOs of major utilities and manufacturing industries to state their requirements and expectations regarding research needs and technology deployment over the next 5-10 years- Involve CTOs and CIOs of major companies seeking their views on what advancements in the control, communication, and information infrastructure are needed over the 5-10 year horizon- Attract top managers at NSF, DOE, EPRI, ARPA-E and NIST, other appropriate agencies to articulate their plans for the 5-10 year horizon- Assure participation of recognized experts from academia and research organizations who can add to the discussions or answer questions as needed- Formulate a prioritized and achievable list of expected research accomplishments over the 5-10 year period with measurable improvements for the energy cyber-physical system- Formulate an action plan to secure adequate funding to achieve the targeted goals, laying the foundation for a new collaborative funding opportunity for industry-university partnerships.
