Ning Research to Focus on Real-time Systems to Address Power Grid Vulnerabilities
Dr. Peng Ning has been awarded $28,500 by the National Science Foundation to fund his research proposal titled “Collaborative Research: CT-T: A Resilient Real-Time System For a Secure and Reconfigurable Power Grid.”
The award will run from September 1, 2007 through August 31, 2008.
Research Abstract - Energy infrastructure is a critical underpinning of modern society that any compromise or sabotage of its secure and reliable operation will have a prominent impact on people's daily lives and the national economy. Past failures such as the massive northeastern power blackout of August 2003 have revealed serious defects in both system-level management and device-level designs. This project proposes a hardware-in-the-loop reconfigurable system with embedded intelligence and resilient coordination schemes to tackle the vulnerabilities of the power grid. The proposed system will be fully evaluated in terms of real-time responsibility, fault resiliency, and ability for local collaboration in emergent/catastrophic events.
