Abstract: Artificial Intelligence for Enhancing the Cyber-Physical Resilience of Power Distribution Systems
Power distribution systems are under growing threats, ranging from large-scale outages caused by natural disasters to cyber-attacks. This talk will discuss opportunities for artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the cyber-physical resilience of power distribution systems. Models will be presented to enhance the cyber-physical situational awareness of power distribution systems, and to automate the response and recovery operation after cyber and physical threats.
