Advanced AI tools, especially large language models (LLMs), are opening new pathways for automating intelligent power system analysis and decision-making. In this talk, I will present GridAgent 1.0, an LLM-powered agentic AI system that performs professional power system studies directly from natural language requests, in a ChatGPT-like user interface. GridAgent can load power grid cases, retrieve …

The introduction of Large Language Model (LLM) based Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has and will continue to change our daily lives. Specifically, software such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or others, is beginning to transform the way engineers plan, optimize, and operate the electric grid. In this webinar, Dr. Jonathan Snodgrass will be introducing the basics …
The gist of this presentation is to help power engineers avoid having their power flows converge to undesired alternative solutions. As has been known for about 50 years, the power flow equations have multiple solutions. Usually, but not always, the solution with the highest per unit voltage magnitudes represents the solution at which the power …
We are excited to share Dr. Xin and Dr. Enjeti’s project with ERCOT! News Release on Nov 5, 2025 (Austin, TX) – The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc. (ERCOT) today announced that it is partnering with the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) to develop detailed generic dynamic models of large loads—such as data …
We are excited to share that Dr. Thomas Overbye has been honored with the 2024 Association of Former Students College-Level Teaching Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to teaching. A professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the TEES Smart Grid Center, Dr. Overbye continues to inspire both undergraduate …
We are excited to announce that Dr. Birchfield received the NSF CAREER award, with project title “CAREER: Spatial Complex Network Analysis of Bulk Electric Grids for Long-Term System Planning.” More Info on the NSF Website.
Dr. Snodgrass was interviewed by Elisa Poteat for the National Security Law Today podcast. You can listen to the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts Podcast summary: Is our grid capable of supporting our energy needs? In Part 1 of this two-part episode, Elisa is joined by Dr. Jonathan Snodgrass of Texas A&M to break down what the …
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. …
Description 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 …
Description 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 …
