Reliable and Secure Power Grid Systems

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The proposed research program aims to enhance reliability in the increasingly volatile and vulnerable modern electricity grid by: 1) Empowering electric power utility controlled devices with the ability to automatically infer, predict and respond to adversarial/natural system perturbations; and 2) Designing trustworthy energy markets where prosumers (i.e. power producers/consumers) are incentivized to provide grid support during congestion and/or fault conditions. To realize these objectives, latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and transactive technologies will be leveraged to build upon Dr. Srikantha's foundational contributions to smart distribution systems. This research has important national security implications for Canada's critical power grid infrastructure.
