Cyber Security via Attack Detection Techniques for False Data

Injection in Power Systems

Research Interest:

Our research is targeted towards enhancing cyber security for power systems, which is of critical

importance in view of the growing roles that communication networks play in today’s infrastructure.

We focus on detection of cyber attacks by monitoring the network traffic and in particular exploit the

knowledge of physical properties/dynamics in the control of power grids. The attacks considered are

false data injection in the measurement and control data. When only the raw data is manipulated by

malicious attackers, detection by conventional IT-based methods would be very difficult.

At the workshop, two lines of studies will be presented from this perspective. One is that of state

estimation at the transmission grid level. We consider scenarios of coordinated stealthy attacks on the

data of grid topologies and transmission line parameters. We approach this problem based on robust

Power Systems. The current projects supported by NSF are focused on demonstrating a Holonic

Multiagent System Architecture capable of adaptively controlling future electrical power distribution

systems, which are expected to include a large number of active consumers with renewable power

generators, energy storage devices, and advanced metering and control devices. The complex nature of

future power distribution systems will require them to adapt reactively and proactively to normal and

anomalous modes of operation. The architecture produced by this project will be capable of optimizing

performance and maintaining the system within operating limits during various operating conditions,

such as intermittent cloud covers.

Robust Stabilization of Power Grids with Larger Shares

Of Renewable Energy

Research Interest:

The research interests of Olaf Stursberg include methods for modeling, control, and

optimization of dynamic systems, with particular emphasis on distributed topologies, hybrid

dynamics, and handling of system uncertainties. A focus of reseach within the last few years has

hierarchical settings is suitable for the application in power grids, in particular, when the

availability of renewable energy fluctuate or grid disturbances occur. Along this line, the

workshop contribution will address techniques for robustly stabilizing power grids with

significant shares of renewable energy.

Research Interest:

Dr. Kevin Tomsovic’s research focuses on the development of optimization and intelligent

system methods for the electric power system. Broadly, his research addresses how to properly

coordinate and control the vast variety of devices that are connected to the grid. These devices

interact directly through electrical connection and indirectly through information processing

and these interactions take place at multiple time scales. The engineering concerns are how to

design and operate this system to meet economic, reliability and social objectives and how

to model the interactions between the flow of information, the physical system phenomena, and

the desired performance. The modern optimization and control system methods he applies

attempt to address the complexities and uncertainties inherent in such large-scale systems. Dr.

Tomsovic directs CURENT (Center for Ultra-wide-area Resilient Electric Energy Transmission

Networks), an NSF/DOE Engineering Research Center, focused on research and education

issues for wide area control of the power system. CURENT is developing transforming

Poster Title:

Computational Systems Thinking via Cellular Architectures for Distributed Energy Management

Research Interest:

Dr. Venayagamoorthy’s interests are in the research, development and innovation of advanced

computational methods for smart grid operations, including intelligent sensing and monitoring, power

system optimization, stability and control, and signal processing. Dr. Venayagamoorthy’s recent work is

focused on advanced monitoring, optimization and control systems for utility power systems and micro-

grids. Real-time situational intelligence enabled by computational systems thinking machines (CSTMs)

to handle the ‘Big Data’, increased variability and uncertainties caused by high-levels of penetration of

variable renewable energy resources are essential to optimally manage distributed energy systems. His

research reveals principles that will govern the design of such systems and where we can find them.

CSTMs will require three basic capabilities: sense-making, decision-making and adaptation. Realization

of those capabilities will depend in turn on subsystems that continuously improve their knowledge on

the dynamics of the electric power grid and not just gather data/information.

A Randomized Algorithm for Chance Constrained Optimal Power Flow

with Renewables

Research Interest:

My research interests are in the areas of control system theory and mathematical optimization.

In fact, my major research interest is theory and application of probabilistic methods for

analysis and design of control systems. One example is randomized algorithms for robust

convex problems, which is to minimize an objective function subject to a parameter dependent

constraint. Although it is difficult to find a feasible solution within reasonable computational

time due to its parameter dependency, we have proposed efficient randomized algorithms

whose sample complexity are polynomial of the problem size. Another research topic is

stopping rules for a stochastic approximation. This is a recursive algorithm for finding a solution

of an unknown nonlinear equation via noise corrupted observations. We have proposed

stopping rules for the stochastic approximation. Our stopping rules depend on only a priori

information, while other conventional stopping rules depend on a posteriori information.

Furthermore, we apply the idea of stopping rules to multi-agent consensus under noisy

measurements.

Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University

Community/Urban scale Bottom-up Modelling of Energy Demand of

Residential and Commercial Buildings

Research Interest:

Currently Dr. Yohei Yamaguchi is involved in projects 1) to measure energy consumption of both

residential and commercial buildings, 2) to analyse the structure determining energy demand

including occupants’ behaviour, operation and specification of appliance/equipment, physical

property of buildings, 3) to develop a bottom-up energy demand model with a variety of spatial

scales from building, community, region to nation, and 4) to estimate flexibility in energy

demand of buildings and to evaluate how the flexibility can be used to contribute to improving

the performance of power systems. In the EMS-CREST project, he has been developing

stochastic models replicating people’s presence and activity in home and operation of home

appliances and equipment. These models are used to emulate energy demand at a high-

temporal resolution and to estimate the flexibility in power demand that can be used to improve

the performance of power systems, while especially focusing on the intra- and inter-family

variety in energy demand. He has been developing similar models for commercial buildings.
