Title:  Grid Modernization: Challenges, Opportunities, and Solutions

Abstract:
Our aging grid infrastructure faces increasing challenges from multiple sources including greater demand variability, stricter environmental regulations and growing cybersecurity concerns.  Advanced smart grid technologies provide possible solutions to tackle these challenges. Meanwhile how to best utilize these new devices and technologies such as PMUs and electric vehicles remains a challenge by itself. In this talk, I will address various topics which span a multitude of areas related to grid modernization including demand response, stochastic optimization for renewable integration, microgrids and cybersecurity. I will present the technical issues in implementing these technologies and corresponding potential solutions.
