The state estimators used in real-time power system control centers now process bad data as a standard routine. With the introduction and deployment of phasor measurement units (PMUs), it is possible to model power systems, even with their time-varying nature, in real-time. However, PMUs remain vulnerable to providing bad data for several reasons. In this paper, a new intelligent framework, the cellular computational netwo rk (CCN), is introduced for the decentralized predictive modeling and dynamic state estimation (DSE) of a power system with PMU data. The CCN-based DSE is resilient to interactions between multiple segments of bad data from one or more PMUs.

Autonomous robots can be used to perform reconnaissance missions in disaster scenarios when the safety of humans cannot be guaranteed. We developed an interdisciplinary approach to autonomous team-based exploration in such settings. The introduced system architecture consists of robust communication and reactive task allocation, built upon a research robot platform. A team of robots autonomously executes exploration tasks deploying a long-term sensor network. All robots and sensors are linked through the so-called distributed common information model (dCIM), which is the global knowledge base of our system. It enables the robots to share a unified environment model and to perform dynamic task scheduling. All key soft-and hardware elements presented in this paper have been prototypically implemented and tested.

To characterize the power performance of wind turbine generators (WTGs), the International Electrotechnical Commission provides a power curve for each one based on ten minutes average. This approach causes the problem of systematic errors because of the nonlinear relationship between power and wind speed. In this paper, recurrent neural networks are introduced as an alternative approach to model this nonlinear relationship. Based on actual wind speed input and wind power output, an input-output relationship is established for a permanent magnet synchronous machine based wind power generator. Experimental studies are carried out to the develop power curve that characterize dynamic power performance of the wind turbine generator. These dynamic power performance models of wind turbine generators can be used as operational and planning models in control centers. Some preliminary results on the integration of a neural network wind generator model in a micro-grid simulation is presented.

Operators at electric grid control centers are faced with the task of making important decisions in real-time. With the plethora of data available it becomes important to extract information from the available data, based on which knowledge of system condition can be formed. This knowledge can then be used in decision making. Metrics such as transient stability margin (TSM) and voltage stability load index (VSLI) help in assessing the stability of the system. In this study, cellular neural network (CNN) based stability margin prediction system is developed in a distributed computing framework. The developed system not only extracts information from available data but also predicts the same, one step ahead of time. Moreover, the framework employed uses distributed computing and hence could be used on a large scale power system with a linear increase in computation time instead of an exponential increase. A reduced version of New Zealand's South Island power system is used as the test system to demonstrate the feasibility of CNNs for TSM and VSLI prediction.
