Quantum Computing Applications in Power Systems
As electric power systems continue to grow in size and complexity, the computational demands associated with planning, operation, and real-time decision-making are increasing significantly. As the IBR penetration continue to increase and large volumes of operational data presents new challenges that often exceed the capabilities of conventional computational approaches.
Quantum computing has emerged as a promising technology with the potential to transform power system analytics by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics to solve complex optimization and computational problems more efficiently than classical methods. This presentation will introduce the fundamentals of quantum computing and provide an overview of its emerging applications in electric power systems. Topics will include optimization, power system operation, planning, renewable energy integration, and other areas where quantum computing may enhance the scalability and efficiency of future grid analytics. The session will also discuss current research trends, implementation challenges, and the potential role of quantum technologies in enabling a more resilient, intelligent, and sustainable electric grid.
Biography:
Dr. Sayonsom Chanda is a power systems researcher whose work bridges electric grid engineering and quantum computing. He earned his PhD in power systems from Washington State University. During his tenure at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), he became the first to demonstrate a real-world use case of quantum computing applied to grid operating scenarios — pioneering work that explores how emerging computational paradigms can address the complexity of modern power systems.
He is the author of two books, pre-Quantum and Resiliency of Power Distribution Systems, and has published more than 20 papers in IEEE journals and conferences, contributing to the fields of grid resilience, distribution systems, and quantum applications in energy.
Dr. Chanda is the founder of Sync Energy. He presently serves at Samsung Research, India, where he continues to advance technologies at the intersection of energy, computing, and resilience.
