Abstract
Keeping the power on especially to the critical facilities, such as hospitals and fire department during extreme adverse operating scenarios is essential. There is a need for a flexible and resilient grid to minimize the impact of component failures given adverse events. Availability of data from massive sensors deployment enables new monitoring and control strategies such as early alarm and diagnosis, predictive analysis, distributed and decentralized control, flexible and adaptive control. Data in power grids are largely unexploited in discovering knowledge and new solutions for critical power grid applications to enhance the resiliency. Availability of additional sensor data brings its own challenges including data anomalies, real time processing, data fusion, and secure data management. This talk will focus on real time physics-aware data analytics to enhance situational awareness and decision support for enabling operational resiliency of the power grid and associated challenges and opportunities.
