讲座通知：Power System Reliability, Resilience and Cybersecurity in a Cyber-Physical Environment

摘要: The power grid we are utilizing is one-century old and aging for the  modern industry. The dramatic economic loss brought by the obsolete power system  triggers the research of the smart grid. Thus, the current power grid is  undergoing significant changes and upgrades. For instance, more significant  amounts of renewable energy resources are being integrated into the power grid.  Meanwhile, various innovative smart grid technologies are being developed and  deployed in the current power grids, including intelligent sensors, advanced  metering infrastructure, novel power electronic equipment, and demand response  based operating strategies. These emerging technologies are instrumental to  enabling various desired functionalities of smart grid, but meanwhile they are  significantly increasing the complexity and uncertainty of the overall system.  For instance, new failure modes may be caused by malicious cyber attacks against  the critical cyber components of power grid. This talk will discuss the  reliability, resilience and cybersecurity of contemporary power systems by  accounting for the new uncertain factors. The state-of-the-art of the field will  be presented by reviewing the most up-to-date work. The major difficulties and  challenges in this field will be identified and discussed.

If time allows, Dr. Wang will introduce the College of Engineering and  Applied Science (CEAS) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM).
