Reliable And Secure Power Grid Systems

拟议的研究计划旨在通过以下方式提高日益不稳定和脆弱的现代电网的可靠性：1)赋予电力公用事业控制设备自动推断、预测和响应对抗性/自然系统扰动的能力；以及2)设计值得信赖的能源市场，其中消费者(即电力生产商/消费者)受到激励，在拥堵和/或故障条件下提供电网支持。为了实现这些目标，将利用人工智能和交互技术的最新突破，在斯里坎塔博士对智能配电系统的基础贡献的基础上再接再厉。这项研究对加拿大关键的电网基础设施具有重要的国家安全影响。

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.
