Electric grid analysis and design relies on robust modeling and simulation capabilities, with time-domain dynamics and stability studies a key aspect. This webinar will focus on recent work done at Texas A&M on the topic of building synthetic datasets to spur innovation in this area. Actual electric grid models, particularly models with parameters for running …

Geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) caused by solar coronal mass ejections can induce quasi-dc currents in the ac power grid, potentially leading to harmonics, transformer heating, and increased reactive power losses in the system. Voltage collapse has been recognized as the key risk posed by these geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) the grid. This talk will first briefly …
Please welcome Dr. Roy, Dr. Hammad, and Dr. Chen to the Smart Grid Center!
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 …
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 …
A new book titled “Data Science and Applications for Modern Power Systems” recently published by Springer was authored by Le Xie, Ph.D. (Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Chancellor EDGES Fellow, Presidential Impact Fellow, TAMU; Assistant Director for Research, TEES Smart Grid Center), Yang Weng, Ph.D. (Assistant Professor, Computer and Energy Engineering, ASU), and Ram Rajagopal, …
An interview of NBC DFW with Le Xie, Ph.D. (Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Chancellor EDGES Fellow, Presidential Impact Fellow, TAMU; Assistant Director for Research, TEES Smart Grid Center) was posted on July 31, 2023. In blistering summer sun and heat, solar technologies provided about 15% of energy during days in Texas, but wind farms …
At the General Meeting of IEEE Power & Energy Society held in Orlando, Florida on July 16-20, 2023, Kate Davis, Ph.D. (Assistant Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Texas A&M University; Assistant Director for Education, TEES Smart Grid Center) co-chaired the Communications and Cybersecurity Super Session with Nathan Wallace, Ph.D. (Cybirical, GridIntel). Panelists were Mark Rice, …
