Abstract: A primary objective of this research is to establish a foundational framework for smart grids that enables significant penetration of renewable DERs and facilitates flexible deployments of plug-and-play applications.  Under this common theme, the PIs have taken  a  data  analytics  perspective  to  explore  rigorous  approaches  in  modeling, optimization, and control of wind generation integration.

Abstract: Motivation: Energy infrastructure is a critical underpinning of modern society. To ensure its reliable operation, a nation-­‐wide or continent-­‐wide situational awareness system is essential to provide high-­‐resolution understanding of the system dynamics such that proper actions can be taken in real-­‐time in response to power system disturbances and to avoid cascading blackouts. The power grid represents a typical highly dynamic cyber-­‐physical system (CPS).

Abstract: We  developed  an  analytical  and  computational  framework  for  vulnerability analysis of dynamical power networks to link and node-based attacks.   For stochastic link failure attacks, we provided a systematic procedure for ranking links  (transmission  lines)  of  power  network  in  the  order  of  their  critical importance to maintain synchronization among network generators.

EUROMICRO CONFERENCE ON REAL-TIME SYSTEMS Lund, Sweden, 8-10th July 2015 Organized by the Euromicro Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems Conference web site: ecrts15.ecrts.org THEME AND TOPICS OF INTEREST ECRTS is the premier European venue for presenting research into the broad area of real-time and embedded systems. Along with RTSS and RTAS, ECRTS ranks as one of the three top international conferences on real-time systems.

CPSData 2014 : CPSData - Big Data Technologies for the Analysis and Control of complex Cyber-Physical Systems Workshop in conjuction with INFORMATIK 2014

March 13-14, 2014 | NIST Campus | Gaithersburg, Maryland Dedicated Smart Grid Testbeds (SG TBs) are being developed by industry, academia, and government laboratories to characterize smart grid equipment and systems and validate smart grid performance and standards. At this nascent stage, much needs to be done to develop shared understanding of needs, opportunities, and approaches for integrating testbed design and operation to achieve the full potential of the evolving smart gird.
