At the heart of the transition to a zero-carbon power system is a technological paradigm shift from conventional generation to renewable generation connected to the grid via power electronics. In this context, the literature and public debate mostly focus on the variability and intermittency of renewable generation and loss of machine inertia. At the same time, the rapid and massive integration of power electronics and renewables results in significantly different power system dynamics and challenges standard operating, control, and analysis paradigms. This talk will focus on a universal grid-forming control paradigm that is compatible with a wide range of emerging and legacy power generation, conversion, and transmission technologies and enables rigorous end-to-end stability analysis of tomorrow’s complex power system dynamics. The talk will conclude with a brief discussion of challenges in control and stability analysis that need to be resolved to enable reliable and resilient zero-carbon power systems.

Motivated by climate change and its recognized impact on the infrastructure, environment and human health, the Biden Administration has set an ambitious goal of getting to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Getting to net-zero emissions is a game changer for our society and has impacts on the long-term planning for all sectors of the economy. Bulk power grid decarbonization and electrification of transport have been identified as first priorities to meet those goals.
Title: AN ANALYSIS OF CYBERSECURITY EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Presenter: James Crabb, Master of Science in Computer Science, Thesis Final Examination
Chair: Assefaw Gebremedhin
This presentation will provide an overview of the cause of microarchitectural side-channel vulnerability and will examine a few examples and how to take advantage of them. We will conclude by exploring potential strategies to mitigate such vulnerabilities and generally ensure hardware security
