TLDR
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.read more

Integration of new generation and load technology in the computation of risk over the operations planning time-horizon
TL;DR: Hydro-Québec has put forward a novel methodology calculating the level of these balancing reserves, over the time horizon of 1–48 hours, based on the risk that the load will exceed the committed generation capacity.

Agent based model of smart grids for ecodistricts
TL;DR: An agent-based model of ecodistricts with smart grid elements, by following a modeling approach called ASPECS is proposed, which provides the simulations based on this kind of models can not be used as an exact predictive tools, but provide an exploratory tool to study how to integrate smartgrid elements in an ecodistsrict, and how different actors interact with each other.

The future's smart delivery system [electric power supply]
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a location-dependent approach based on the characteristics of the existing power system and nature of the load at each specific site to determine optimal solutions to digital end users' security, quality, reliability, and availability (SQRA) requirements.

Plug in to grid computing
TL;DR: The ability of grid-enabled systems to interact autonomously is vital for small generators where manned operation is likely to be viable and the ability to monitor the output of embedded generators to be monitored and controlled is vital.
