Project description
Third-cycle subject:Electrical Engineering
Electrical power systems are typical cyber-physical systems with sophisticated control and communication. With the high penetration of renewables, power electronics and demand response devices, as well as the tightly coupled cyber and physical networks, future power systems will be more complex with stochastics and more vulnerable under disturbances/attacks. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence, big data and advanced control/optimization technologies provide possible novel approaches to address above challenges. This project will develop resilient operation and control schemes of sustainable cyber-physical power systems.
Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by Qianwen Xu och Lars Nordström
