Collaborative Research: CyberTraining: Pilot: PowerCyber: Computational Training for Power Engineering Researchers

PowerCyber项目旨在解决电力和能源工程领域先进网络基础设施（CI）的利用不足问题。尽管CI取得了重大进展，但由于缺乏高质量的培训材料以及历史上对有限工具的依赖，其在电力工程中的采用受到限制。该项目旨在填补差距，通过创建一个在线，模块化，开放式的培训研讨会在电力工程研究人员量身定制。该项目将使获得高质量研究培训的机会民主化，使多样化的人口受益，并促进电力和CI社区之间的合作。此外，该项目还将帮助研究人员了解先进的CI软件和硬件，并帮助加速清洁能源转型的跨学科研究。在该项目中，研究人员将开发在线，模块化和开放的PowerCyber培训，以帮助电力工程研究人员全面了解先进的CI软件，硬件和新兴的CI技术。这些任务包括：a）开发高质量的、互动的和按需的培训模块，以涵盖软件、硬件和新兴技术中的先进CI，并通过研究实例展示其改变电力工程研究的潜力; B）提供虚拟PowerCyber培训研讨会; c）将培训材料纳入研究者所在机构的课程。该项目完成后，我们希望已经展示了一个试点培训研讨会，为研究人员提供解决电力领域问题的先进的竞争情报能力。这个项目是由高级网络基础设施办公室和刺激竞争研究的既定计划（EPSCoR）共同资助的该奖项反映了NSF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进行评估，被认为值得支持的搜索.

The PowerCyber project aims to address the underutilization of advanced Cyberinfrastructure (CI) in the domain of power and energy engineering. Despite the significant advancements in CI, its adoption in power engineering has been limited due to a lack of quality training materials and the historical reliance on limited tools. This project seeks to fill the gap by creating an online, modular, and open-access training workshop tailored for researchers in power engineering. The project will democratize access to high-quality research training, benefit a diverse population, and foster collaborations between the power and CI communities. Also, the project is expected to equip the research workforce with an understanding of advanced CI software and hardware and help accelerate interdisciplinary research for the clean energy transition.In this project, the investigators will develop an online, modular, and openly available PowerCyber training to prepare power engineering researchers with a comprehensive understanding of advanced CI software, hardware, and emerging CI technologies. The tasks include a) developing high-quality, interactive, and on-demand training modules to cover advanced CI in software, hardware, and emerging techniques and demonstrating, by research examples, their potential to transform power engineering research; b) offering virtual PowerCyber training workshops; and c) incorporating the training materials into the curricula at the home institution of the investigator. Upon the completion of this project, we expect to have demonstrated a pilot training workshop that provides researchers with advanced CI capabilities for solving power-domain problems.This project is jointly funded by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.
