Overview

Distributed energy  resources are growing quickly on the electricity grid, yet the current management architecture for the grid is centralised, potentially creating scalability, security, and privacy challenges. This project will explore the tradeoffs involved in decentralising management of the electricity grid.

Research engagement

Students on this project would be involved literature review, analysis of empirical grid data, and simulation

Research activities

You will work with researchers from computer science, electrical engineering, and will interact with external partners who are sharing real-world context on the problem

Outcomes

The project will generate recommendations on how to best decentralise the grid management decisions

Skills and experience

Python programming, data analysis
