This project addresses the impact of the integration of renewable intermittent generation in a power grid. This includes the consideration of sophisticated sensing, communication, and actuation capabilities on the system's reliability, price volatility, and economic and environmental efficiency. Without careful crafting of its architecture, the future smart grid may suffer from a decrease in reliability. Volatility of prices may increase, and the source of high prices may be more difficult to identify because of undetectable strategic policies. This project addresses these challenges by relying on the following components: (a) the development of tractable cross-layer models; physical, cyber, and economic, that capture the fundamental tradeoffs between reliability, price volatility, and economic and environmental efficiency, (b) the development of computational tools for quantifying the value of information on decision making at various levels, (c) the development of tools for performing distributed robust control design at the distribution level in the presence of information constraints, (d) the development of dynamic economic models that can address the real-time impact of consumer's feedback on future electricity markets, and finally (e) the development of cross-layer design principles and metrics that address critical architectural issues of the future grid.This project promotes modernization of the grid by reducing the system-level barriers for integration of new technologies, including the integration of new renewable energy resources. Understanding fundamental limits of performance is indispensable to policymakers that are currently engaged in revamping the infrastructure of our energy system. It is critical that we ensure that the transition to a smarter electricity infrastructure does not jeopardize the reliability of our electricity supply twenty years down the road. The educational efforts and outreach activities will provide multidisciplinary training for students in engineering, economics, and mathematics, and will raise awareness about the exciting research challenges required to create a sustainable energy future.

该项目解决了可再生间歇性发电并入电网的影响。 这包括考虑复杂的传感、通信和驱动能力对系统可靠性、价格波动以及经济和环境效率的影响。 如果不精心设计其架构，未来的智能电网的可靠性可能会下降。 价格的波动性可能会加大，而高价的来源可能会因为战略政策的不可察觉而更加难以识别。该项目依靠以下组成部分来应对这些挑战：(a) 开发易于处理的跨层模型；物理、网络和经济，捕捉可靠性、价格波动以及经济和环境效率之间的基本权衡，(b) 开发用于量化各级决策信息价值的计算工具，(c) 开发在存在信息约束的情况下，在配电层面执行分布式鲁棒控制设计的工具，（d）开发动态经济模型，可以解决消费者反馈对未来电力市场的实时影响，最后（e）制定跨层设计原则和指标来解决未来电网的关键架构问题。该项目通过减少集成新技术（包括集成新的可再生能源）的系统级障碍来促进电网现代化。对于目前正在改造我们能源系统基础设施的政策制定者来说，了解性能的基本限制是必不可少的。 至关重要的是，我们要确保向更智能的电力基础设施的过渡不会危及二十年后电力供应的可靠性。教育工作和推广活动将为工程、经济学和数学领域的学生提供多学科培训，并将提高人们对创造可持续能源未来所需的令人兴奋的研究挑战的认识。
