Talk Title: Nueroscience and Neural Networks for Engineering the Future Intelligence Electric Power Grid
Abstract: The objective of this multi-disciplinary collaborative research is to infuse more neurobiology into control systems, to make them more brain-like and better able to carry out real-time control of complex systems. This project has two research thrusts: neuro-biology and neuro-engineering. On the neuro-biology side, a novel in vitro neural system is used to explore new learning mechanisms that may underlie the massively parallel real-time control capabilities of the brain. Brains are exquisitely good at adaptive real-time interaction with the world. This requires spatially and temporally coordinated activity of many neurons to accomplish. The neuro-engineering activity takes advantage of advances in the neurobiology thrust to develop technologies for real-time control and decision making, aimed at revolutionizing nonlinear adaptive optimal control of large complex critical infrastructures such as, but not limited to, the smart electric power grid. This presentation will focus on the neuro-engineering aspects with emphasis on the application of advanced neural networks in addressing some of the smart grid challenges.
Keywords â computational methods, intelligent systems, neurocontrol, situational awareness.
