The Grid Game started a s simple microgrid simulator that modeled the frequency variations of a microgrid with a small amount of inertia developed for a class created by the University of Idaho and Idaho National Laboratory to teach students about the multidisciplinary area of research and development called resilient control systems. When Mike Guryan from Idaho Regional Optical Networks suggested “could you make that a game?” …

Tim will talk about the inspiration for building the game and about some of the history around the game and the topics of resilient control systems.

 

Note – Installation instructions and Grid Game Manual shall be provided via email to the registered participants. Participants are expected to install the grid game software and go through the manual to understand the game before the event.

Participant certificates shall be provided to attendees and winners/runners to get additional Goodies from IEEE PES YP.

Registration is limited.

IEEE PES YP - Grid Game 2023

Biography:

Timothy R McJunkin is a Distinguished Researcher at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). He has been with INL since 1999. Tim serves as the Technical Director of the cross-cutting Net-zero Microgrid Program at INL. His current research and development areas include resilient control of critical infrastructure, net-zero microgrids and cybersecurity. He has published 20+ peer review journal articles, four book chapter and been awarded 13 patents. Prior to joining INL, he was with Compaq Computer Corporation’s Industry Standard Server Group (1994-1999) leading board level motherboard design of multiple server products. He holds a Master of Science in electrical and computer engineering from Utah State University and is pursuing his Ph.D. in the University of Idaho’s Electrical Engineering Department. At Utah State he was awarded a Rocky Mountain NASA Space Grant Consortium fellowship for his work on autonomous planetary vehicles. He has served an adjunct professor for Idaho State University Electrical Engineering department and co-developed a course in Resilient Control Systems with the University of Idaho and other institutions across the U.S. He developed the Grid Game to provide a “hands-on” tool for the course and other education-focused events.
