Research Goals:
Develop, Test and Validate Smart Grid Algorithms as well as Test Smart Grid Devices

Teaching Goals: Smart grid education targeted towards middle school, high school, undergraduate and graduate  students using hardware-in-the-loop demonstration of smart grid devices and operations

Motivation: The electric power system is moving towards the Smart Grid (SG) development for improved reliable, secure and economic operation. Implementation of such a system requires development, enhanced testing and validation of smart grid technologies. Objective of SGDRIL is focused on development, testing and validation of these algorithms as well as testing of devices at generation, transmission, distribution, and at home network level.

Research/ Teaching Activities:
Scope of SGDRIL will be at all levels of power system including transmission, distribution generation to home network systems. Collaborations within department and outside is in progress to address cyber-security, communication, control, signal processing, visualization, computer interface, data mining and smart home aspect of Smart Grid with focus on power system.  Main activities include:

  • Phasor based applications at transmission level including stability, security, remedial scheme and state estimation algorithms based on phasor data
  • Testing of microgrid concepts, algorithms, with integration of renewable at distribution level
    Testing of phasor devices including PMU, phasor data concentrator, historians and controllers at distribution and transmission level
  • Interface with Smart Home for monitoring home loads and providing demand response based control within electricity market based operation
  • Interface with data communication emulator, data delivery methods for testing of different communication options in smart grid. Investigation of cybersecurity using integrated hardware in the loop setup of physical devices and simulated power system, and hybrid physical/emulated communication channels
  • Using developed test bed for Smart grid demonstration to students for better understanding including PMU, Relay, DFR and other devices operation
