Research Interest Areas
The research focus of SGDRIL is developing power system operation and control algorithms.
Availability of the smart grid data such as synchrophasor data, smart meter data,
distribution automation data provides opportunities for better control and optimization
algorithms for power system operation. Testing of these newly developed algorithms is
critical for implementation. Specific focus of power system operation and control algorithms
are in the following research areas:
