Electrical and Computer Engineering, UCR

TITLE:
"Frontiers in Smart Grid Data Availability"

ABSTRACT:
Electric power systems have taken drastic advances in deployment of new
sensor technologies and communications infrastructure to support
opportunities for new data availability in the field of smart grids. New
measurement devices are developed and installed at scales in forms of
advanced metering infrastructure, distributed energy resources monitoring
systems, and high-resolution time-synchronized wide-area monitoring
systems. These new technologies are generating immense volume of energy
data. In this talk, we will explore the frontiers in smart grid data
availability, with emphasize on synchronized phasor measurements
(fundamental and harmonics) and synchronized waveform measurements.
Real-world field data, data analytics, and innovative use cases will be
discussed. Events and event-based situational awareness will be presented
to translate the data into actionable information, under passive and
active sensing scenarios. Example application opportunities will be
explored in asset monitoring, analysis of system dynamics and
oscillations, and monitoring incipient failures and extreme events.


------------------------------------
Sponsored by the UCR Data Science Center, the purpose of the Data Science
Seminars is to foster collaborations between "core" Data Science faculty
(from CSE/ECE/Stat Departments) and faculty/visitors from other sciences
that face Data Science problems in their research. These informal
gatherings are open to interested faculty and graduate students. After the
seminar a discussion will follow for questions, open problems, ideas for
possible collaborations etc.

Please forward this email to other colleagues or graduate students in your
lab that may be interested. Moreover, if you are interested in giving a
Data Science related talk, please contact me (tsotras at cs.ucr.edu).
