SGDRIL Smart Grid Demonstration Research Investigation Lab

Data Analytics for the Smart Grid (DASG)

28th August, 2017

Washington State University, Pullman

Sponsored by Smart Grid Demonstration and Research Investigation Lab (SGDRIL)1, Energy System Innovation Center2, WSU3, and Siemens4

Introduction

Enhanced penetration of distributed energy resources and prosumers, increasing adverse weather and cyber events, emergence of smart cities, high-resolution sensor data, and strong dependence on communication and cyber technologies, has changed the way the electric grid operates. These changes are imposing new operational challenges, but also provide new opportunities for developing solutions.

Availability of data from massive sensors deployment enables new monitoring and control strategies such as distributed and decentralized control, transactive control, asset monitoring, cyber-security analytics and advanced pricing models data available from phasor measurement units (PMUs) enables enhanced situational awareness and decision support. Distribution automation and smart meters enable advanced volt-var control, real-time load behavior tracking, outage management, and transactive control. Enhanced visibility of low voltage distribution network enabled by data sensors may help energy producers and consumers to better manage their energy portfolio for economic and reliable operation through transactive energy. Furthermore, an increasing number of digital devices and sensor data in this cyber-physical electric grid also need solutions for data anomalies and cyber-security management.

One of the focus areas of the workshop is Big Data in Smart Grid. Big data is generated and monitored ubiquitously in smart grids, but largely unexploited in discovering knowledge and new solutions for critical smart grid applications. Robust data analytics solutions are critical towards the optimized operation of smart grid.

Goals and Objectives

This workshop will comprise of invited talks by subject experts and panel discussions with opportunities for meeting experts from academia, industry, and national labs. This workshop will also facilitate to gain insight into the evolving data analytics technologies. The objectives of the workshop will be:

  • To gain insight into state-of-the-art data analytics techniques.
  • To understand the applications of these techniques in the context of the smart grid.

The workshop welcomes topics that might include (but are not restricted to) theoretical, experimental and empirical research in the following areas:

  • Smart grid data quality
  • Smart grid situational awareness
  • Sensing and control in the smart grid
  • Asset monitoring
  • Large-scale data analysis in smart grid
  • Tools for distributed analysis
  • Smart grid cyber security
  • Microgrids
  • Advanced metering infrastructure

Who Should Attend

Members of academic institutions, researchers, industry members and any other who would be interested in the data analytics techniques and their applications in the smart grid.
