Enhancing Grid Situational Awareness and Reliability with Advanced Analytics and High-Resolution Data

This project aims to develop tools that will actively monitor the electric grid and identify ways to resolve issues more quickly using detailed data from metering devices. By doing so, the project will assist utility companies in gaining an improved situational awareness of the power grid. The power grid has become increasingly complex due to the growing number of solar panels and electric vehicles connected to the distribution system. The outcomes of this project will contribute to better grid management, leading to enhanced reliability of power supply to customers. It will also allow more homes and businesses to generate their own electricity from renewable sources.
