Minitrack Introduction

This minitrack focuses on advanced control and information management concepts to enhance the reliability and cyber security of the future electric power infrastructure. Advances in monitoring the grid and in modeling and computation enable new approaches to address reliability with power system operation and control. The increasing reliance of the electric power industry on information technologies introduces a new class of cyber vulnerabilities and threats to the electric power infrastructure that require new cyber security technologies. This minitrack will explore advances in these technologies that have demonstrable or likely applications to electric power systems.
