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.

该提案要求提供资金，为参加 NSF 研讨会的大学教授提供差旅补贴，以确定网格边缘的研究方向：将公用事业运营的传统电网与边缘第三方拥有和运营的新兴电网连接起来。该研讨会将于 2020 年 3 月 24 日至 25 日在华盛顿特区举行，重点关注 5-10 年未解决的问题、技术要求和研究方向。该研讨会旨在让旅行补助金获得者以及行业和政府利益相关者共同探讨网格边缘的概念、基本原理和愿景。拟议的研讨会将提供一个论坛来讨论和协调研究策略和相关行动计划，以满足行业对新解决方案的需求，以应对影响电网的新发展。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，为下一代电网提供解决方案，以造福人类。推进网格边缘所需的基本概念需要采用跨学科方法，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。在此背景下，电网边缘通过多个维度进行定义：a）资产所有权，包括公用事业拥有和非公用事业拥有的资产，b）边缘利益相关者角色，包括以公用事业为中心和以第三方为中心的观点，以及侧重于跨边缘边界密切合作的必要性的观点，以及c）涵盖物理网格组件、控制和保护、技术、网络物理安全和隐私、市场、监管框架和业务模型的结构化操作层。本次研讨会将延续 NSF 过去和当前通过最近一系列及时研讨会所做的努力，提供更多的研究见解和视角，重点关注电网边缘能源生成和消耗的网络和物理方面。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命和通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，该项目被认为值得支持。
