Tools, Data and AI for an Effective Transition to the Next Generation Power Grid: From Synchronous AC to Inverter-based Renewables
The traditional AC grid is undergoing a transition from a few large centralized synchronous generators to hundreds or thousands of local, renewable, inverter-based generation (IBRs), primarily wind and solar. The two modes of generation are based on different technologies, and their integration into a single hybrid system presents a number of technical challenges, while also opening up opportunities for the development of geographical equality, environmental preservation, and increased resilience. A significant amount of expertise and high levels of reliability have been developed over the past 139 years of the AC power industry. With the emergence of renewables, many of standard ideas for designing and operating electric power grids will need to change. In this talk, we will discuss the need for new tools of analysis, extensive data collection, and the role of AI in maintaining optimum operation of AC systems with significant DC penetration. We will also mention some of the tools available for improving the system's resilience while preserving the environment and the well-being of the population during system failure and natural disasters.
