(Photos Below) 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 …

Sandip Roy, Ph.D. (Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Texas A&M University; Director, Global Cyber Research Institute, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station) will present this webinar at 3 P.M. CST on December 6, 2023. Abstract: My group’s recent research on power systems has been focused on coordinating sensing and control assets to manage network-wide swing dynamics …

On November 14, 2024, a successful student information session was held by Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and the Smart Grid Center of Texas Engineering Experiment Station (SGC). The event aimed at providing valuable information to electrical and computer engineering students for making career decisions in the power industry. The talks presented were the …

Deep decarbonization of the electric power sector is essential and urgent to combat climate change. This talk focuses on leveraging the substantial resources from vast end-users on the demand side to decarbonize electric power systems, which encompasses two main parts: demand-side carbon accounting and decarbonization decision-making. Firstly, this talk will introduce the basics of carbon emission accounting …

The registration deadline has been extended until 8 am CDT on October 24, 2023 or until the capacity is full. 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 …

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 …

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 …
