The objective of this collaborative research project is to design an effective system for managing smart grids and smart meters for electricity production and consumption, with the eventual goal of helping creating a sustainable energy future. The scope of this research plan encompasses the robust management of smart grids, adaptive usage controls based on real-time information provided by smart meters, and the development of an effective mechanism for coordinating supply and demands. Smart grids refer to a new and intelligent network of electricity production facilities, transmission grids, equipped with automation software and control systems for delivering and monitoring electricity to meet the demands. Smart meters are a vital part of the smart grids technology. These meters are equipped with intelligent sensors that track the real-time consumption of energy, enabling users to monitor their electrical usage during peak versus off-peak hours. Algorithms and systems for making the smart grids more robust, and are able to withstand shocks within the systems will be developed. There will also be a focus on developing a policy for controlling energy consumption in real-time based on the information provided by the smart meters. If successful, the project will facilitate the realization of smart grid's potential by developing the necessary optimization methods, control policies, and data analysis techniques for the management of smart grids and smart meters. The results of the research will be included in the curriculum of the Master of Engineering Program in Energy Markets and Risk by the IEOR Department at UC Berkeley. The research will be translated into teaching modules that can be used for Master's students in this program. Establishment of close collaborative relationships with companies in the energy industry and DOE national labs are planned.

该合作研究项目的目标是设计一个有效的系统来管理电力生产和消费的智能电网和智能电表，最终目标是帮助创造可持续的能源未来。 该研究计划的范围包括智能电网的稳健管理、基于智能电表提供的实时信息的自适应使用控制以及开发协调供需的有效机制。 智能电网是指由电力生产设施、输电网组成的新型智能网络，配备自动化软件和控制系统，用于输送和监控电力以满足需求。 智能电表是智能电网技术的重要组成部分。 这些电表配备了智能传感器，可以跟踪实时能源消耗，使用户能够监控高峰时段和非高峰时段的用电量。将开发使智能电网更加稳健并能够承受系统内冲击的算法和系统。 还将重点制定基于智能电表提供的信息实时控制能源消耗的政策。如果成功，该项目将通过开发智能电网和智能电表管理所需的优化方法、控制策略和数据分析技术，促进智能电网潜力的实现。研究结果将纳入加州大学伯克利分校IEOR系能源市场与风险工程硕士课程的课程中。 该研究将转化为可供该项目硕士生使用的教学模块。 计划与能源行业的公司和能源部国家实验室建立密切的合作关系。
