Who; Dr. Kevin Tomosvic
What: CURENT Power and Energy Seminar
Where & When: MHK 404, Friday, Aug. 30th from 12:20pm to 1:10pm
Title: CURENT Overview and Definitions of Resilience
Abstract: This week's seminar will be two-fold. The first part will overview CURENT and discuss some efforts the Center is making to improve communications and everyone's experience in the Center. This is an "all-hands" meeting and it is hoped that everyone will attend.
In the second part, Dr. Tomsovic will overview some concepts of resilience in the power grid. Many countries are facing new challenges in operating critical infrastructures as the number of extreme weather events increases. In addition, there is concern of large-scale state sponsored cyberattacks impacting critical infrastructures. This presentation will emphasize definitions and concepts and contrasts to traditional reliability concepts.
