The objective of this research is to investigate the effects of a series of earthquakes in the South Island of New Zealand (Christchurch) on the electricity infrastructure. Furthermore, this research study will make projections on what the impacts would look like if smart-grid technologies were integrated into the existing power network. Would the result be better, worse, or a combination of both? In what areas is further research needed? The approach is to carry out a real-time simulation of the New Zealand?s power system with intelligent sensing, monitoring and control technologies in collaboration with New Zealand?s university and utility experts in power systems and smart grids. Intellectual merit: During natural disasters and malicious attacks, intelligent monitoring and controlling power systems with new algorithms will increase real-time responsiveness to changing power loads and component failures, improve the dynamic and transient behavior of the power network, improve grid reliability, ensure local and wide area stability, and assist human experts in control rooms.Broader Impacts: Energy security is very important to United States, and thus it is critical to protect our electric grid from different forms of disturbances including natural disasters and malicious attacks by using advanced sensing, monitoring and control technologies.

本研究的目的是调查新西兰南岛（基督城）一系列地震对电力基础设施的影响。此外，这项研究还将预测如果智能电网技术集成到现有电力网络中会产生什么影响。结果会更好、更差还是两者兼而有之？哪些领域还需要进一步研究？该方法是与新西兰电力系统和智能电网方面的大学和公用事业专家合作，利用智能传感、监测和控制技术对新西兰电力系统进行实时模拟。智力价值：在自然灾害和恶意攻击期间，采用新算法的智能监测和控制电力系统将提高对电力负荷变化和组件故障的实时响应能力，改善电网的动态和瞬态行为，提高电网可靠性，确保本地电力安全。和广域稳定性，并协助控制室的人类专家。更广泛的影响：能源安全对美国非常重要，因此通过使用先进的传感技术保护我们的电网免受自然灾害和恶意攻击等不同形式的干扰至关重要、监测和控制技术。
