Projects

Project 1: PSERC (S-91)

Generating Value from Detailed, Realistic Synthetic Electric Grids

Summary

The goal of the project is to work closely with the industrial team to generate value from large-scale, detailed and realistic synthetic electric grids. The project builds on recent ARPA-E work by the PIs to develop grids that can be used for research, education, commercial development and public engagement. The four project tasks are 1) developing customized grids, 2) developing specific grid scenarios, 3) develop scenarios to explore decision making with uncertainty, and 4) expanding the scope of synthetic grids for coupling with other infrastructures.
