This project will develop a scalable and modular co-design framework to enable large-scale sensing and control co-design for assured resilience. This is a formative project toward addressing the research objective in the Advanced Grid-Forming Control Design for Improved Grid Resilience project.
- Goal I: Develop a generalized co-design framework and formulation for optimal sensor placement and context-aware resilient control.
- Goal II: Identify the cyber, control, and sensing design variables for the microgrid use case (Thrust 1 testbed).
The project will accomplish these goals by gathering the requirements for the control co-design and developing a multi-level framework that leverages advances in machine learning to parametrize and modularize the co-design formulation. As part of the framework development, the project will define resilience metrics for co-design and leverage the findings of the FY 2021 Zero-Forcing for Resilience project, if applicable. Moreover, the project team will coordinate with Thrust 1 projects to specify the co-design use case that will be demonstrated in the later years.
