Source Analysis of Forced Oscillation Mechanisms

In this project, we will develop the theory and computational tools for a) analyzing and identifying the source of forced oscillations in a best-case scenario assuming full availability of dynamic models and measurements, and b) gradually reducing the availability of model and measurement information in the formulation toward developing realistic source location algorithms which can be implemented in the near future. » More ...

Tools for Keeping Your Power ON During Extreme Events

We are developing software tools for predictive power outage management and decision support during extreme events: CP-TRAM for transmission grid Operators and CANVASS for distribution grid operators. These tools minimize cyberattacks' impact on critical facilities by leveraging power engineering concepts and open source technologies in simulations, machine learning, and data visualization. » More ...

Identification and Mitigation of T&D Operational Security Vulnerabilities in Inverter Dominated Power Systems

This project seeks to identify operational security vulnerabilities in T&D assets that grid integration of massive amounts of inverter-based resources (e.g. wind and solar generations, HVDC systems and inverter-interfaced energy storages) creates. We will investigate how the likely cascading outages in inverter-dominated power systems will look like as the result of new dynamics and fault responses of inverter-based resources (IBRs). » More ...

Grid Supporting Controllers for Enabling 100% Penetration of Inverter Based Resources

Future power systems are envisioned to transition to significant amount of renewable energy. For example, California has mandated 100% renewable energy supply by 2045 and Minnesota has passed laws to move to full renewable energy supply by 2050. New technologies such as HVDC systems will be also integrated into the conventional AC systems forging hybrid AC-DC systems. To assure reliable integration of such a massive amount of renewable inverter-based resources (IBRs), the IBRs should be augmented with grid support capabilities and compatibility features. To this end, this project proposes a multi-pronged research effort as follows » More ...
