Award Number: 1736392

Abstract:

The reliable functioning of the electric power grid forms a critical part of a modern industrial country. The failure to maintain the reliability of the grid leads to significant societal, national security problems and environmental costs. With the ever-increasing use of intermittent power sources such as wind, solar, battery, along with new types of disruptions that are arising, the overall reliability and stability of the electric grid is threatened. The proposed research will have an impact on understanding the stability of the electric grid given these intermittent power sources. This can lead to significant cost savings based on modeling, in addition to a direct positive impact on the environment, and a more stable civil society as well as economy.
