U.S.-Sweden Cooperative Research: Damage Assessment, Control, and Restoration Following Power Grid Disturbances

该奖项支持弗吉尼亚理工大学和州立大学的Arun Phadke和Virgilio Centano与瑞典马尔默Enersearch AB公司的Hans Ottosson的合作。研究将集中于电网的灾难性故障，探索灾难性干扰后电网的损害评估、控制和恢复方法。要研究的干扰包括自然灾害，如地震和龙卷风，以及人为灾害，如恐怖袭击和人为失误。弗吉尼亚理工大学小组将专注于信息系统基础设施概述、计算机网络和面对灾难性事件的电力网络的稳健性。瑞典集团将在每个领域作出重大贡献，并将能够提供加强基础设施以提高性能的方法。电网的灾难性故障是一个普遍现象，如何恢复失载服务一直是全世界工程师关注的问题。特别是，北欧在这些主题方面有大量的知识储备，这一合作将发挥作用

0104649PhadkeThis award supports Arun Phadke and Virgilio Centano of Virginia Polytechnic and State U. in a collaboration with Hans Ottosson of Enersearch AB in Malmo, Sweden. The research will focus on catastrophic failure of power networks, exploration of methods for damage assessment, control, and restoration of electric power grids following catastrophic disturbances. Disturbances to be studied include natural disasters such as earthquakes and tornadoes, and man-made disasters such as terrorist attacks and human error. The Virginia Tech group will concentrate on information system infrastructure overview, computer networks, and electric power networks for robustness in the face of catastrophic events. The Swedish group will make substantial contributions in each area, and will be able to offer ways to enhance infrastructures for improved performance. Catastrophic failures of power networks are a universal phenomenon, and restoration of service to lost loads occupies the interest of engineers throughout the world. In particular, there is a significant pool of knowledge on these topics in Northern Europe, which this collaboration will
