Workshop on Power Electronics-enabled Operation of Power Systems, To Be In Chicago, IL, October 31 - November 1, 2019

世界范围内的电力系统正在经历范式转变。数以百万计的分布式能源（DER）正在连接到电力系统，这对电网的稳定性、可靠性、安全性和弹性提出了前所未有的挑战。最近的研究表明，它是有前途的无缝集成控制系统，电力电子和电力系统的专业知识，以实现电力电子使能的电力系统的操作，以解决这些问题。 本次研讨会将邀请来自资助机构，监管委员会，公用事业，智库，供应商和大学等的50名参与者，就电力系统的范式转变提供多学科的观点，并确定相关的挑战和需求，以及潜在的工具和方法。讲习班结束后将提出建议。这将有助于加速电力系统的范式转变，提高未来电力系统的稳定性、可靠性、安全性和弹性，促进可持续发展，创造就业机会，刺激经济增长。这种范式转变背后的根本挑战是，未来电力系统将以电力电子为基础，而不是以电机为基础，具有大量活跃、间歇、非同步和异构的参与者。本次研讨会的目的是将来自控制系统，电力电子和电力系统的专家聚集在一起，以确定多学科研究和教育中的基本挑战和需求，以控制电力电子启用的电力系统，以增强电网稳定性，自主性，可扩展性，可操作性，可靠性，安全性和弹性;加强合作，以应对所确定的挑战;并提高资助机构和决策者的意识，以支持和培养研究和教育活动，以促进基础知识，使技术和劳动力在这一领域。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

Power systems worldwide are going through a paradigm shift. Millions of distributed energy resources (DER) are being connected to power systems, which imposes unprecedented challenges to grid stability, reliability, security, and resiliency. Recent research has shown that it is promising to seamlessly integrate expertise in control systems, power electronics, and power systems to achieve power electronics-enabled operation of power systems to address these issues. This workshop will invite 50 participants from funding agencies, regulatory commissions, utilities, think-tanks, vendors, and universities etc. to offer multidisciplinary perspectives on the paradigm shift of power systems and identify the associated challenges and needs, and potential tools and methodologies. Recommendations will be made after the workshop. This will help speed up the paradigm shift of power systems, improve the stability, reliability, security, resiliency of future power systems, promote sustainability, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth.The fundamental challenge behind this paradigm shift is that future power systems will be power electronics-based, instead of electric machines-based, with a huge number of active, intermittent, non-synchronous, and heterogeneous players. The objective of this workshop is to bring experts from control systems, power electronics, and power systems together to identify fundamental challenges and needs in multidisciplinary research and education in control of power electronics-enabled power systems for enhanced grid stability, autonomy, scalability, operability, reliability, security, and resiliency; strengthen collaborative efforts to tackle the challenges identified; and raise the awareness of funding agencies and policy makers to support and nurture research and educational activities to advance fundamental knowledge, enabling technologies, and workforce in this area.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.
