Modernized electrical grid automated to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity.
A presentation by Marija Ilic (Carnegie Mellon) at the National CPS PI Meeting 2010 on Smart Grids as a Means of Implementing Sustainable Energy Services: The Key Role of Dynamic Monitoring and Decision Systems (DYMONDS)
This project focuses on modern buildings as a natural expression of a cyber-physical system, with many features that are typical to such systems. This project focuses on modern buildings as a natural expression of a cyber-physical system, with many features that are typical to such systems. Modern buildings exhibit a tight integration of sensing, computation, and actuation within multiple physical domains.
This research addresses the following fundamental problem in cyber-physical systems: How can we design systems that respond to critical events, such as earthquakes, based on data from large numbers of noisy, community-held sensor devices? The general goal of our research is to develop theory and practical systems that enable ordinary people to use technology collectively to respond to critical events.
