RAS represents one of the core resilience components of the electric power system and is also one unique example of the IT/OT technology fusio n in grid modernization and digitalization.\n\nIn partnership with PacifiC orp and Idaho Power\, a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) resea rch team led by Dr. Xiaoyuan Fan has developed Transformative Remedial Act ion Scheme Tool (TRAST). The patented technology automates the process of identifying and evaluating RAS used by electric utilities to plan for spec ific contingencies and emergencies. TRAST uses a novel approach to automat ically generate use cases\, bringing in advanced statistical data analysis tools\, and using machine learning algorithms to analyze\, validate\, and help create RAS plans. PNNL’s parallel computing platform and Microsoft cloud environment are utilized for steady state and dynamic simulations u nder massive contingencies and operating conditions. More realistic settin gs of RAS systems in the U.S. Western Interconnection can make the grid mo re reliable and resilient.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Chris Gunning\, cgunning@ie ee.org\, Boise Computer Society chapter chair\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Xiaoyuan Fan\, \n\nAgenda: \nDec. 16\, 2021 7pm MST (9pm EST\, 6pm PST)\n\nVirtual WebEx presentation.
