Texas A&M Nuclear Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty team of Drs. Kate Davis, Lin Shao and Pavel Tsvetkov, is excited to have the opportunity to be part of the Consortium for Enabling Technologies and Innovation team led by Georgia Tech’ Dr. Anna Erickson. “We are thrilled to carry-on cutting-edge science and engineering research …
To accelerate analysis of regional extreme weather threats and impacts on the electric grid, the Grid Deployment Office of Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded $600,000 to fund the project titled “Texas A&M and Prairie View A&M Regional Grid Consortium“. With duration of one year, it will start on August 1, 2024. The principal investigator …
Geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs), caused by solar coronal mass ejections, have the potential to significantly impact the operation of the high voltage electric grid by causing geomagnetically induced currents (GICs). Over the last decade there has been significant research, industry interest, and regulatory concern about the impact of GMDs on the high voltage electric grid. The …
Large Language Models (LLMs) as chatbots have drawn remarkable attention thanks to their versatile capability in natural language processing as well as in a wide range of tasks. While there has been great enthusiasm towards adopting such foundational model-based artificial intelligence tools in all sectors possible, the capabilities and limitations of such LLMs in improving …
High voltage electric grids are some of the world’s most complex machines, whose present high levels of reliability have been achieved through careful planning. The purpose of this three-day short course is to provide a comprehensive coverage of the processes used in doing this planning. The course philosophy is to provide a practical, hands-on approach …
The second annual student workshop of the research project “Strategic Holistic Framework for Intrusion Prevention Using Multi-model Data in Power Systems (SHIELD)” (PI: Ismail Muhammad, Associate Professor, Computer Science, Tennessee Tech) funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) was held at the Center for Infrastructure Renewal (CIR) of Texas A&M University System (TEES) on May …
One of the key pillars of the energy transition is the electrification of transportation. While much work has been done in this area, it is mostly single-disciplinary, ignoring the detailed modeling and simulation of other systems and sub-systems. In this webinar, I will present the cutting-edge work at Texas A&M University on full-fidelity interdisciplinary EV …
