Visible to the public Achieving High-Resolution Situational Awareness in Ultra-Wide-Area Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract:

Motivation: Energy infrastructure is a critical underpinning of modern society. To ensure its reliable operation, a nation--wide or continent--wide situational awareness system is essential to provide high--resolution understanding of the system dynamics such that proper actions can be taken in real--time in response to power system disturbances and to avoid cascading blackouts. The power grid represents a typical highly dynamic cyber--physical system (CPS).
