Summer Energy Chat
Optimization, Simulation, and Machine Learning in Modern Power System Analysis
Feng Qui, Argonne National Lab
July 20, 2020
This talk will try to give a sampler of trending methodologies and applications in modern power system research by introducing a number of research projects at Argonne National Lab. We will focus on optimization and machine learning technologies and their applications in system operations, resilience, cyber security, cloud computing, etc. Instead of digging into technical details, we will go through as many trending research topics as possible at a high level, e.g., motivations, challenges, innovations, and impacts, hoping to present a representative sketch of the modern power system research to the audience.

Summer Energy Chat
Advanced Analytics to Improve Power Grid Resilience
Guenter Conzelmann, Argonne National Lab
July 13, 2020
Speaker Profile: here
Presentation Available: here
Today’s talk will focus on Argonne’s advanced data analytics and modeling and simulation-based research that is designed to help make our power grid infrastructure more resilient to extreme events. Guenter will provide a brief introduction of the concept of resilience, describe the current and evolving threat/hazard landscape, summarize some of Argonne’s key infrastructure analytics and modeling tools, and showcase how these capabilities have been applied recently for a variety of customers for enhanced situational awareness, operator training and large-scale exercises, and improved operations and planning
