AGI-ESIC Power Seminar Series: GridAPPS-D™: Distribution Management Platform for Advanced Distribution Systems Operations
About the event
Advanced Grid Institute and Energy System Innovation Center proudly presents GridAPPS-D™: Distribution Management Platform for
Advanced Distribution Systems Operations to be presented by Dr. Alexander Anderson, Dr. Andy Reiman, and Mr. Jim Ogle, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Overview
GridAPPS-D™ is an open-source platform that accelerates the development and deployment of portable applications for advanced distribution management and operations. The GridAPPS-D™ project is sponsored by the U.S. DOE’s Office of Electricity, Advanced Grid Research. Its purpose is to reduce the time and cost to integrate advanced functionality into distribution operations to create a more reliable and resilient grid. WSU has been actively collaborating with PNNL since the inception of the project. In this talk, PNNL researchers will present an overview of the GridAPPS-D platform, application development process, and an overview of the example applications currently deployed. Next, we will discuss the ongoing efforts related to distributed approaches for distribution system management and the development of new applications within the GridAPPS-D platform. We will conclude with some new distributed applications efforts underway.
About the Speakers
Dr. Alexander Anderson is a power systems research engineer in the Distributed Systems Group at PNNL. His research focuses on power systems operations, advanced power applications, next-generation energy management systems, defense against cyber-physical threats, microgrid optimization, and human factors in control room environments. Alexander has coordinated software integration, testing, and training for multiple power system simulators and applications. He is currently 2022 IEEE Region 6 Humanitarian Activities Chair and IEEE PES HAC Partnerships chair. Prior to that, he served for three years as chair of partner engagement for IEEE Smart Village which distributed nearly $2M of grant funding annually for creation of new electric utilities in Africa and SE Asia. Alexander holds a PhD in systems engineering from Colorado State University, professional science master’s degree in power systems engineering from Washington State University, and a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Saint Martin’s University.
