This monograph presents a possible research agenda for analytics
and control of a deep decarbonized electric grid with pervasive
data, interactive consumers, and power electronics interfaces. It
focuses on new lines of investigation that are driven by new
technological, economical, and policy factors. Conventional
monitoring and control of the power grid heavily depends upon the
physical principles of the underlying engineering systems. There is
however increasing complexity of the physical models compounded by
a lack of precise knowledge of their parameters, as well as new
uncertainties arising from behavioral, economic, and environmental
aspects. On the other hand there is increasing availability of
sensory data in the engineering and economic operations and it
becomes attractive to leverage such data to model, monitor,
analyze, and potentially close control loops over data. The
increasing deployment of large numbers of Phasor Measurement Units
(PMUs) provides the potential for providing timely and actionable
information about the transmission system. Chapter 2 examines a
framework for drastically reducing the dimensionality of the high
volume streaming data, while preserving its salient features for
purposes such as event detection, classification and visualization,
and potentially even to close the loop around the data. Driven by
the deepening penetration of renewable energy resources at both
transmission and distribution levels, there is an increasing need
for utilizing power electronics interfaces as intelligent devices
to benefit the overall grid. Chapter 3 offers a conceptual design
and concrete examples of a qualitatively different power grid
stabilization mechanism in the context of networked microgrids.
Another major paradigm change in the operation of the grid is that
demand will have to be engaged much more to balance the partially
variable renewable energy supply, which in turn requires greater
understanding of human behavior to economic variables such as
price. Chapter 4 presents a possible formulation to model the
behavior of individual consumers in future grid operations. Chapter
5 presents a proposed solution to the problem of detecting attacks
on the sensor measurements in the grid, which has become a greater
concern with increasing reliance on sensor data transported over
communication networks, with both sensors and networks liable to
malicious cyber-attacks. The goal of this monograph is to design
clean, affordable, reliable, secure, and efficient electricity
services. and to expand the horizon of the state of the research in
the electric energy systems, at a critical time that is seeing the
emergence of Grid 3.0. It is by no means complete and aims to
stimulate research by next generation researchers.
For anyone familiar with acupuncture and Traditional Chinese
Medicine, there has heretofore been no way to deepen one's
knowledge beyond popular introductory texts, short of taking
professional training courses, studying Chinese, or going through
laborious technical manuals. Here at last is a clear and thorough
presentation of the secrets of advanced acupuncture practice,
providing details on such things as how acupuncture puts together a
diagnosis, the application of needles to multiple locations, and
the meaning of the poetic Chinese terms for acupuncture points.
