Visible to the public Control-Theoretic Defense Strategies for Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by fabiopas on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:37am. Contributors:

Abstract:

This project will design next-generation defense mechanisms to protect critical infrastructures, such as power grids, large industrial plants, and water distribution systems. These critical infrastructures are complex primarily due to the integration of cyber and physical components, the presence of high-order behaviors and functions, and an intricate and large interconnection pattern.

Visible to the public A Cyber-Physical Framework for Remedial Action Schemes in Large Power Networks

Submitted by Kevin Tomsovic on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:37am. Contributors:

Abstract:

This project develops an integrated framework of communications, computation and control for understanding wide-area power system performance in the face of unpredictable disturbances. The power system is chosen as a particularly challenging cyber physical system (CPS) due to its extreme dimension, geographic reach and high reliability requirements.

Visible to the public Active Regression for Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by zhangbao on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:36am. Contributors:

Abstract:

One defining feature of cyberphysical systems is the fact that human users are closely intertwined with the physical system. Yet both the system and users themselves are often do not explicitly know how users would behave. A natural question arises: How do we design cyberphysical systems that effectively learn about their users, and optimize system behavior accordingly? This poster presents the idea of active regression as a vehicle to learn about users.

Visible to the public CRII: CPS: Safe Cyber-Physical Systems Upgrades

Submitted by ttj on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:36am. Contributor:

Abstract:

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) encompass the next generation of computerized control for countless aspects of the physical world and interactions thereof. The typical engineering process for CPS reuses existing designs, models, components, and software from one version to the next.

Visible to the public A Unified System Theoretic Framework for Cyber Attack-Resilient Power Grid

Submitted by Umesh Vaidya on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:36am. Contributors:

Abstract:

We developed a systematic analytical and computational framework for the vulnerability analysis and mitigation of data integrity attacks on Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) employed for wide area monitoring and control of power system. The analytical framework is based on the stability theory of stochastic dynamical system and it allows one to systematically determine the PMUs most critical to power network security.

Submitted by Panganamala Kumar on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:36am. Contributor:

Abstract:

In this project, we are working on the broad problem of maximizing the penetration of renewables in smart grid. To that end, we are developing strategies for optimal demand response, operation, and real-time pricing. In particular, we propose theory for optimal operation for the independent system operator (ISO), and for the load serving entity (LSE).

Submitted by kgshin@eecs.umich... on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:36am. Contributors:

Abstract:

Recent progress in battery technology has made it possible to use batteries to power various physical platforms, such as ground/air/water vehicles. These platforms require hundreds/thousands of battery cells to meet their power and energy needs. Of these, automobiles, locomotives, and unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) face the most stringent environmental challenges.

Visible to the public CRII: CPS: Architecture and Distributed Computation in the Networked Control Paradigm: An Autonomous Grid Example

Submitted by nilanjgec on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:36am. Contributors:

Abstract:

This project is focused on developing a fundamental understanding of the impact of network delays and data drops using an approach that is applicable to a variety of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). An example of such a CPS is the power grid which includes large-scale deployment of distributed and networked Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and wind energy resources.

Visible to the public Multistep Electricity Price in Electricity Market in Smart Grid

Submitted by Yu Wei on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 5:36am. Contributor:

The multistep electricity price (MEP) policy has been introduced to promote energy saving, load balancing, and fairness in electricity consumption. Nonetheless, with the development of the smart grid, how to determine the quantity of electricity and at what price in a step-like fashion has not been fully investigated in the past.
