Abstract
The smart transmission grid is a major topic of discussion but a
comprehensive description of such a grid is still developing. It is expected
that such a transmission system will have significantly more measurements,
communications and control than the present grid but no consensus has been
reached on what the specifications of such new functionality should be. Of
course, the technical specifications depend on the new applications of
monitoring and control that we would like to see for the operation of the
grid. Matching the available technology of measurement, communication and
control to our wish-list of applications is the way to develop this
technical vision of the smart grid.
In this presentation, we will develop a specific view of what
the smart transmission grid will look like and what new monitoring and
control functions will be feasible with existing technologies of
measurements, communications, computers and controllers. The new development
will be mainly in software which will be covered. The material will be
covered in four lectures,
Lecture 1:
Introduction – Power System Controls Today and What is Feasible Tomorrow
Lecture 2:
The Needed Communications and Information Infrastructure
Lecture 3:
The Feasible Wide-Area Automatic Controls
Lecture 4:
The Future Control Center and a New State Estimator
Biography
Anjan Bose is a Regents
Professor and the Distinguished Professor of Electric Power Engineering at
Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, where he also served as
the Dean of the College of Engineering & Architecture from 1998 to 2005. He
is a leading researcher on the operation and control of the electric power
grid. He has worked in the electric power industry as well as academe for
over 35 years.
Dr. Bose is a Member of the
US National Academy of Engineering, a Foreign Fellow of the Indian National
Academy of Engineering, a founding member of the Board of Directors of the
Washington State Academy of Science, and a Fellow of the Institute of
Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He was the recipient of the
Outstanding Power Engineering Educator Award, the Third Millenium Medal, and
the Herman Halperin Electric Transmission & Distribution Award from the
IEEE. He has been recognized by both Iowa State University and the Indian
Institute of Technology with their distinguished alumnus awards. He has
served on several editorial boards and on many technical committees and
conference organizations. He was appointed by the governor to the board of
directors of the Washington Technology Center, and by the US Secretary of
Energy on the committee to study the 1999 and 2003 power blackouts. He has
served on several committees of the US National Academies including those
for Engineering Education, Cybersecurity Research and Power Grid Security.
He has consulted for many electric power companies and related government
agencies throughout the world.
