2023 Energy and Power Research Day

May 23, 2023 by Pamela Mize

The 2023 Energy and Power Research Day sponsored by the TEES Smart Grid Center (SGC) and the Energy and Power Group of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering was held at the Center for Infrastructure Renewal (CIR) located on the TAMUS RELLIS Campus on April 28, 2023.

Presentations on research projects and invigorating discussions provided opportunities for direct communication within the industry. The event was chaired by Dr. Thomas Overbye, SGC Director (Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering, O’Donnell Foundation Chair III, Member, National Academy of Engineering).

One of the sessions held was a workshop titled, “Power System Cybersecurity Roundtable: Challenges & Opportunities in Grid Cyber-Physical Intrusion Response” chaired by Dr. Kate Davis (Assistant Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering).

An optional technical tour of the SGC Control Room Lab offered hands-on activities and demos. More than 90 attendees participated in the event including several Smart Grid Center faculty, collaborators, their students, and industry representatives.

Exhibit During Night at the Zach, 3/24/2023

April 20, 2023 by Pamela Mize

It was held by the Texas A&M College of Engineering on March 24th. Many students and chaperones were attending this from across the State. The exhibit of the Smart Grid Center included interactive dynamic simulation (DS) cases (or rides) using PowerWorld DS representing synthetic power grid. Disastrous cases were presented, such as those applicable to tornadoes and geomagnetic disturbances, where users acted like power grid operators and tried to save the grid and prevent system blackouts.
