Short Course “Electric Grid Impacts of Geomagnetic Disturbances” Will Be Held at TAMUS on March 18-19, 2025 (Rescheduled from October 30-31, 2024)

Description 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. 

Webinar on 6/18/2024: Exploring the Capabilities and Limitations of Large Language Models in the Electric Energy Sector

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

Short Course “Fundamentals of Electric Transmission Planning” Is Rescheduled from October 1-3, 2024 to February 18-20, 2025

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

Second Annual Student Workshop of Strategic Holistic Intrusion Defense in Power Systems (SHIELD) Project

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

Energy & Power Research Day on April 23, 2024

The Energy & Power Research Day was held in person at the Center for Infrastructure (CIR) on RELLIS campus on April 23, 2024. It included presentations on current projects, demonstrations, and networking with industry. Sponsors of the event were the Smart Grid Center (SGC) of Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) and the Energy and Power

Short Course “Primer on the Planning and Operation of Large-Scale Electric Grids” Was Held in Person Again at TAMUS on September 10-12, 2024

Electricity is the lifeblood of our modern society, and for most this electricity is supplied by large-scale, interconnected electric grids.  Engineered as the ultimate in plug-and-play convenience, the wall outlet is actually the gateway to the world’s largest and most complex machine.  The goal of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction for those

SGC Advisory Board Meeting Held on March 18, 2024

The 24th meeting of the Advisory Board of the TEES Smart Grid Center was hosted in person at Center for Infrastructure Renewal on the RELLIS campus in Bryan, Texas, on March 18, 2024. Prior to the business meeting, demonstrations took place at the SGC Control Room Lab and the newly opened Grid Interactions Research Facility
