ZOOM IEEE Hawaii PES chapter DL Seminar Wed Dec 16th from 6:30-8:00PM on "Present and Future Grid: Reliability, Resilience and Cascading"
Abstract: Power grid today is an automated cyber-physical infrastructure that is growing in complexity and changing rapidly with increased penetration of renewable energy sources and with implementation of new technologies. A strong and resilient power system with all three segments (generation, transmission, distribution) serves as a vital societal function and plays an essential role in the economy and to social wellbeing. Power grid may become increasing vulnerable to extreme events and in particular to High-Impact Low-Probability (HILP) category events. Therefore, power system resilience today is receiving more attention by regulators and the utility industry as a key factor of the defense against HILP events that have significant economical and societal impact. Assessment of reliability and resilience is of vital importance to both actual system operation and adequate planning of the network reinforcements. Maintaining an adequate level of reliability and resilience in the planning and operation of the power grid is a challenging problem that operating entities face today due to frequent extreme events (e.g., failure of multiple physical components, natural disasters, cyber-attacks) and the increasing complexity of energy system infrastructure.
The application of probabilistic techniques to the composite generation and transmission system planning becomes increasingly important because of probabilistic behavior of power system and since the generation resource mix continues to change due to the addition of wind and solar, the retirement of conventional generation, increasing DR, and distributed resources. The talk will try to address the following questions:
- What is present status of probabilistic reliability evaluation of power systems?
- Do we need new methodologies and tools for evaluating the bulk power system (BES)?
- Is resilience different than reliability?
- How can we evaluate and measure the cascading?
- Does industry needs new standards for resilience?
- How do we balance infrastructures reliability and resilience with a cost?

Biography:
Dr. Milorad Papic, (M’88, SM’05, F’19) is an independent consultant in the fields of power systems planning, reliability and cascading. After receiving his M.Sc. degree from Zagreb University and D.Sc. degree from Sarajevo University, Milorad worked in the System Planning department at Idaho Power for 25 years, until his retirement in April 2020. Prior to arriving at Idaho Power in 1996, Dr. Papic held an Associate Professor position at Sarajevo University; he is also an Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Idaho. His areas of expertise include power system planning, reliability modeling and evaluation of power systems, risk assessment in electric power systems, cascading, and resilience. To date, he has published more than 100 technical papers in Refereed Journals and Conference Proceedings in the aforementioned areas. He is recipient of the 2020 IEEE PES Roy Billinton Power System Reliability Award. Milorad has been a speaker, invited presenter, and panelist at numerous IEEE PES conferences and panels, presenting on a diverse range of topics in reliability and cascading.
