RESEARCH INTERESTS AND GRANTS

The research goal of SG-REAL is developing ‘Power System Operation and Control’ algorithms in the context of the evolving smart grid. Availability of the smart grid data such as synchrophasor data, smart meter data, distribution automation data, cyber logs provide opportunities for better control and optimization algorithms for power system operation and control precisely towards resiliency. The approach developed by my research group includes physics-driven machine learning for power grid operation and control. My existing research projects with external and internal collaborators relate to the following.

Power System Operation and Control

Data-Driven Computational Algorithms to enable security, resiliency, sustainability and voltage stability of the power grid (Transmission Systems with Microgrid and Active Distribution Systems)

Real-Time, Multi-Layer Cyber–Power Testbed for Resiliency Analysis

Real-Time Modeling and Analysis of Cyber-Power Systems for quality-aware synchrophasor applications and resiliency analysis

Industrial Grade Tools

Industry-grade tool development for electric grid resiliency, smart grid data analytics
