JST-NSF-RCN Joint International Workshop on Distributed Energy Management Systems, Tokyo, Japan, June 20-21, 2019

这个研讨会提案是为20名美国科学家参加一个国际研讨会提供旅费支持。该研讨会汇集了来自美国、日本和挪威的研究人员，分享研究成果并探索潜在的合作，重点关注分布式能源（DERs）的可靠集成、电网的弹性和高效运行以及安全基础设施系统等基本问题。研讨会涵盖了输配电网络的监测、建模、数据分析、学习、控制和运行等主题，特别是与光伏发电、风力发电、储能、需求响应和其他DERs集成的输配电网络。将介绍相关领域的研究进展，包括但不限于鲁棒估计、实时优化、分布式控制以及网络和物理攻击的防御机制。在实现智能和弹性社区的背景下，也将考虑电动汽车、它们在微电网内的相互作用以及基础设施系统的相互依存。与传统电网基于远离消费者的大规模集中发电不同，现代电网具有分层信息和控制结构，具有广泛的发电和需求响应资源，包括可再生能源、能源存储和可调节负载，以及众多智能电子设备。可再生能源本身具有间歇性和不确定性。为了变得可靠、有弹性和安全，电网必须能够通过整合分布式计算、通信和控制，快速检测和减轻干扰，稳健地协调不同的发电源和需求响应，动态优化电网运行和分布式资源，并有效地提供强大的保护，抵御物理和/或网络攻击。美国、日本和挪威都在集成高渗透水平的DERs方面取得了重大进展，拟议的研讨会旨在通过汇集来自三个国家的顶级研究人员，展示他们在电网现代化方面的广泛研究和示范组合，并确定电力系统可靠性、安全性和弹性的关键主题，以进一步合作研究，从而产生全球影响。为期两天的研讨会将于2019年6月20日至21日在日本东京六本木百货店举行。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This workshop proposal is to provide travel support for 20 US-based researchers to attend an international workshop. The workshop brings together researchers from U.S., Japan and Norway to share research outcomes and explore potential collaborations, and it focuses upon fundamental issues in reliable integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), resilient and efficient operation of electricity grid, and secure infrastructure systems. The workshop covers such topics as monitoring, modeling, data analytics, learning, control and operation of transmission and distribution networks, especially those integrated with PV generation, wind generation, storage, demand responses, and other DERs. Research advances will be presented in relevant areas including but not limited to robust estimation, real-time optimization, distributed control, and defense mechanism for cyber and physical attacks. Electric vehicles, their interaction within microgrids, and interdependence of infrastructure systems will also be considered in the context of enabling smart and resilient communities. Unlike a traditional grid based on large-scale centralized generation remotely located from consumers, a modern grid has hierarchical information and control structures with a wide range of generation and demand responses resources, including renewables, energy storage and adjustable loads, as well as numerous intelligent electronic devices. Renewable sources are inherently intermittent and uncertain. To become reliable, resilient and secure, the grid must be capable of operating itself by incorporating distributed computing, communication and control, rapidly detecting and mitigating disturbances, robustly coordinating diverse generation sources and demand responses, dynamically optimizing grid operations and distributed resources, and effectively providing strong protection against physical and/or cyber attacks. U.S., Japan and Norway all have made significant strides in integrating DERs at high penetration levels, and the proposed workshop aims to have global impact by bringing together top researchers from the three countries, by showcase their extensive research and demonstration portfolios in grid modernization, and by identifying key topics of power systems reliability, security and resilience for further collaborative research. The two-day workshop will be held at Bellesalle Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan, June 20th-21st, 2019.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
