The security, agility, and robustness/survivability of a large-scale power delivery infrastructure that faces new threats and unanticipated conditions is presented.
Abstract
In this article, we present the security, agility, and robustness/survivability of a large-scale power delivery infrastructure that faces new threats and unanticipated conditions. By way of background, we present a brief overview of the past work on the challenges faced in online parameter estimation and real-time adaptive control of a damaged F-15 aircraft. This work, in part, provided the inspiration and laid the foundation in the 1990s for the flight testing of a fast parameter estimation/modeling and reconfigurable aircraft control system that allowed the F-15 to become self-healing in the face of damaged equipment.

Synchronized and Democratized Smart Grids To Underpin The Third Industrial Revolution

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the Synchronized and Democratized Smart Grid (SYNDEM) model, where the synchronization mechanism of synchronous machines is identified as the natural rule of law to govern SYNDEM and the legal equality is achieved via operating power electronic converters as virtual synchronous machine (VSM) to homogenize all heterogeneous players.
