- Research Grants & Contracts Over 100K
Electric Power Research Laboratory (1983-93) – $1000K – A block grant from Salt River Project to support the power program at Arizona State University. No university overhead was charged on these funds. The agreement was for $100K per year for 5 years, renewed in 1988. The money was used for research projects (not necessarily mine), graduate fellowships, undergraduate scholarships, laboratory upgrading, and secretarial assistance.
Control Center Operator Training Simulator (1985-90) – $875K – This was a subcontract with Control Data Corporation, whose main contract was with the Electric Power Research Institute for $6M. We developed the models, algorithms and software to simulate the behavior of a large power grid in real time so that the control operators can be trained on it. This Simulator has become the defacto world-wide standard today.
Concurrent Processing of Power System Stability (1987-90) – $350K – This was a National Science Foundation grant that I shared with Prof. Daniel Tylavsky, who was a junior colleague at Arizona State Univ. We developed new algorithms to solve the power system dynamic equations on parallel computers and actually tested these algorithms (for the first time) on actual parallel computers available to us at various supercomputer sites in the US.
Power System Dynamic Security Assessment (1990-93) – $420K – This was a contract with the Electric Power Research Institute to recommend new methodology (hardware and software) to enable the power system control center to analyze whether the grid can withstand large short circuits without losing stability i.e. avoid blackouts. This analysis requires too much computation to be done on-line and our task was to find solutions that would be possible with the new computer platforms.
On-Line Security Assessment of Power Systems (1990-94) – $300K – This was a grant from the National Science Foundation to analyze some of the fundamental analytical problems with the formulation of power system security. The idea was to examine the problem structure to find new ways to speed up the solution.
Operator Training Simulator: Phase II (1991-94) – $150K – This was a subcontract with National Systems & Research (Vancouver, WA) who had the main contract of $800K with the Electric Power Research Institute. Our task was to add some new models to this simulator.
Coherency Based Method for Power System Rescheduling (1995-97) – $110K – This was a contract with the Electric Power Research Institute to develop a method for the preventive control of power systems to avoid instability in the power system.
Real-Time Control and Operation of Electric Power Systems: Voltage Dynamics, Collapse and Control (1995-1997) – $220K – This was a contract with Martin Marietta Energy Systems Inc. (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) to conduct a comprehensive study of voltage dynamics in power systems for the US Department of Energy. The co-PIs were Kevin Tomsovic and Mani Venkatasubramanian.
On-Line Dynamic Security Analysis of Power Systems (1996-99) – $250K – This is a grant from the National Science Foundation to develop computational methodology that will help analyze the security of those power systems that are vulnerable to instability under disturbances such as the power grid in the Western United States.
Simulating Load/Frequency Control Performance in a Deregulated Environment (1996-98) – $120K – This was a contract with the Electric Power Research Institute to determine the feasibility of frequency control of the power grid when the power supply industry is deregulated. The co-PI was Richard Christie of the University of Washington.
Multidisciplinary Education Using Curriculum Re-Engineering, Industry Partnership and Simulation Technology (MERIT2000) (1997-2000) – $270K + matching industry cofunding – Joint project between Washington State University and Texas A&M University supported by the National Science Foundation and the Electric Power Research Institute under their initiative for Innovative Power Engineering Education in a Changing Environment. There are two co-PIs at WSU and three at TAMU.
Power Systems Engineering Research Center (1998-2006) – $375K + matching industry membership fees – Funding from the National Science Foundation to join this IUCRC led by Cornell University with nine other university partners.
Internet2 High Speed Connection (1998-2000) – $350K + matching $100K from industry – Funding from NSF and matching by Cisco Systems for WSU to connect to the high speed Internet2 network. Lynn Cannon and Mike Miller at WSU are co-PIs.
Complex Interactive Networks and Systems (1999-2002) – $350K – Research funded by the US Dept. of Defense and the Electric Power Research Institute. WSU was one of six universities working on this $6M, three-year project. Kevin Tomsovic, Mani Venkatasubramanian and Ali Saberi are co-PIs at WSU.
Increasing Transparency of Transmission Constraints on the Electricity Trading Market (1999-2001) – $225K – Research funded by the National Science Foundation to transfer technology from an university research center to small firms. Kevin Tomsovic of WSU and Robin Podmore of Incremental Systems Inc. are co-PIs.
Advanced Real Time Measurement and Controls (2001- ) – $480K – Research funded by the US Dept. of Energy and the California Energy Commission under the CERTS program. Kevin Tomsovic and Mani Venkatasubramanian of WSU are co-PIs.
Industrial Applications of Information Security to Protect the Electric Power Infrastructure (2001-03) – $245K – Research funded by US National Institute of Standards & Technology for joint research with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (lead) and the University of Idaho. Co-PI at WSU is Dave Bakken.
Trusted Cyber Infrastructure of the Powergrid (2005-10) – $980K – Research funded by the National Science Foundation, Dept. of Homeland Security and the National Institute of Standard & Technology. Co-PIs are Dave Bakken and Carl Hauser. Part of multi-university $7.5M project.
Over the years I have had numerous other small contracts, grants and donations that have supported my graduate students and upgraded my computational laboratory.
