This proposal requests funding to provide travel subsidies for university professors to attend the NSF Workshop to define the Research Directions for the Grid Edge: Interfacing the Legacy Grids Operated by Utilities with Emerging Grids Owned and Operated by Third Parties at the Edge. The workshop focusing on unresolved problems, technology requirements and research directions for the time horizon of 5-10 years will be held in Washington DC on March 24-25, 2020. This workshop intends to bring the travel grant recipients, as well as industry and government stakeholders together to address the Grid Edge concepts, fundamentals and vision holistically. The proposed workshop will offer a forum to discuss and coordinate a research strategy and related action plan to meet industry needs for new solutions in response to the new developments affecting the grid. The grid edge is considered a crucial development for the future of the electricity grids requires contributions from academics, engineers, policy makers, economists, social scientists, government officials, and technology leaders in delivering solutions for the next generation electricity grid for the benefits of the society.The fundamental concepts needed for advancing the grid Edge require an interdisciplinary approach involving basic research, applied engineering, technology innovation, behavioral studies, market economics, and policy insights. The grid edge is defined in this context through multiple dimensions: a) the asset ownership, which entails the utility owned and non-utility owned assets, b) the edge stakeholder role, which encompasses the utility-centric and third party-centric view, and the view that focuses on the need to closely collaborate across the edge boundaries, and c) the structured operational layers covering physical grid components, control and protection, the technology, cyber-physical security and privacy, markets, regulatory framework, and business models. This workshop will continue the NSF past and current efforts undertaken through a recent series of timely workshops to offer additional research insight and a perspective focusing on the cyber and physical aspects of energy generation and consumption at the grid edge.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该提案要求资助为大学教授提供旅行补贴，以便参加NSF研讨会，以定义网格边缘的研究指示：将公用事业公司运营的遗产网格与由第三方在Edge的第三方拥有和运营的实用程序运营。该研讨会着重于5 - 10年时间范围内未解决的问题，技术要求和研究方向，将于2020年3月24日至25日在华盛顿特区举行。该研讨会打算带来旅行赠款的收件人，行业和行业和行业和行业政府利益相关者共同解决网格边缘概念，基本面和愿景。拟议的研讨会将提供一个论坛，讨论和协调研究策略和相关行动计划，以满足对影响电网的新开发项目的新解决方案的需求。电网边缘被认为是电网未来的关键发展，需要学者，工程师，政策制定者，经济学家，社会科学家，政府官员和技术领导者的贡献，以为下一代电网提供解决方案，以获得利益的好处。社会。推进网格边缘所需的基本概念需要跨学科的方法，涉及基础研究，应用工程，技术创新，行为研究，市场经济学和政策见解。网格边缘通过多个维度在此上​​下文中定义：a）资产所有权，它需要实用程序拥有和非实用性拥有的资产，b）边缘利益相关者角色，该角色涵盖了以公用事业为中心和以公用事业为中心和以上方面的看法，以及着重于在边缘边界紧密合作的观点，以及c）涵盖物理网格组件，控制和保护的结构化操作层，技术，网络物理安全和隐私，市场，监管框架以及业务模型。该研讨会将继续通过最近的一系列及时的研讨会来继续进行NSF过去和当前的努力，以提供其他研究见解，并在网格边缘的网络和物理方面提供了重点。使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准，通过评估被认为值得支持。
