PowerSimulator® developed by IncSys and PowerData uses the EPRI OTS developed under the supervision of Professor Anjan Bose. PowerSimulator® is used to train the System Operators for the world’s most challenging power systems.
Energy Systems Innovation Center presents Oscillations in Power Systems by Dr. Mani V. Venkatasburamanian, ESIC/WSU
Overview There have been several recent widespread oscillation events in the eastern and western interconnections, and in Europe. For instance, large resonant 0.25 Hz MW oscillations were seen throughout the eastern interconnection on January…
Electricity is fundamental to all human needs. The electric grid that supplies electricity is at an inflection point. Critical emerging trends are decarbonization, electrification, an evolving attack-surface for cyber threats, increasing stakeholders, and deteriorating resilience.
The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science presents Anomaly Management in Massively Digitized Power Systems by Dr. Tong Huang, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Overview The past century has witnessed a digitization trend of electric power grid where increasing digital solutions are being integrated into electric power grids.…
Grid decarbonization and grid resilience are two national missions. However, they are contradicted with each other in a certain sense as integrating inverter-based resources degrades dynamic performance, increases cyber vulnerability, and induces uncertainty for grid operation and control.
Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and ice storms have been an escalating problem in many countries for decades, causing devastating damage to property and human life
One of the most significant challenges that human society faces is producing and distributing clean and affordable energy. Renewable energy and energy storage need to be integrated into the electricity sector. A paradigm shift from fossil fuel to clean electricity as the energy source of land, sea, and air transportation is also necessary.
Current electric power grid is undergoing transition due to the rapid penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) in distribution and subtransmission systems. Geographically, broadly dispersed DERs, with complex communication and computation systems, are expected to improve the power grid resilience if these smart DER capabilities are secured and coordinated with power system management.
Control systems are increasing in capabilities and connectivity to continue to meet the performance goals required by our critical infrastructure. Due to these increases there is an resultant increased risk of hazards, like cyber-attacks, failing communication infrastructure, emergent failure conditions due to complex interactions.
