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

Enhancement of self-healing property of smart grid in islanding mode using electric vehicles and direct load control
Seyed Mohsen,Mohammadi Hoseini Nezhad,Alireza Fereidunian,Hamid Lesani,Mirjavad Hashemi Gavgani +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a stochastic nature of electric vehicle's behavior is modelled and the parking lots needed for self-healing in the islanding situation are optimally placed in the power grid.

Paying for the smart grid
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed three main issues related to smart grids: reliability, demand response and cost recovery of investments, and showed that generators will lose profits as a direct effect of demand response initiatives, and most of the benefits of smart grids cannot be easily converted into payments.

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.
