Abstract: The smart grid, referring to the modern electric power infrastructure, is a system of systems, and is one that is complex and dynamic with stochasticity given the growing integration of variable and intermittent power generation and flexible demand resources. Smart grids aim to utilize digital infrastructure to improve reliability, efficiency, security and sustainability of electricity delivery. The backbone of smart grids is the exchange of actionable information in a timely manner. With vast amounts of data from advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and internet of things (IoTs), and demand to deliver reliable, accurate and timely decisions and controls, classical computing methods are challenged and fall short.This webinar will present bio-inspired intelligent computing (BIC) technologies that mimic brain-like intelligence that learn, reason and carry out decision-making and control. Several applications of BIC technology for smart grid operations and management will be described in this webinar.
