This Friday, September 19, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering welcomes Anurag K. Srivastava, chair of the Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at West Virginia University.
Time and location:
10:15 a.m. • Engineering Building II, Room 1231
In his talk, “Enabling Cyber-Physical-Human Resilience in DER-Rich Power Grids,” Srivastava will explain how modern electric grids can stay reliable when challenged by extreme weather and cyber disruptions.
He will cover:
- how Distributed Energy Resources, Grid-Enhancing Technologies and IoT devices both strengthen and complicate today’s grids
- physics-aware machine learning methods for detecting anomalies and events
- strategies to improve operator training and cognitive flexibility
- a testbed approach to validate cyber-physical-human resilience tools
Srivastava is an IEEE Fellow whose data-driven research has secured more than $66 million in funding and shaped tools now used in utility control centers around the world.
NC State ECE’s Friday colloquia feature dynamic speakers across the breadth of electrical and computer engineering. All are welcome.
