In the increasingly electrified society, the growing dependence on electricity poses challenges to the energy industry, particularly as transformative shifts in modern power grids unfold. The critical importance of robust power systems and their optimal operations is underscored by the need for reliable, resilient, sustainable, efficient, and affordable electric power. Addressing the complexity of large-scale, geographically distributed, and interconnected nonlinear networks in modern power system operations requires advanced computing technologies. This planning grant project aims to lay the foundation for a comprehensive research initiative, investigating how the parallel algorithms and High-Performance Computing (HPC) techniques with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can efficiently tackle complex optimization problems in power system operations. The successful outcome of this inquiry has the potential to yield billions of dollars in annual savings within the U.S. energy sector through systematic power system optimization.While recent strides have been made in parallel algorithms and HPC techniques, their consistent effectiveness falls short in meeting the stringent requirements of power system operations. Striking a flexible balance between solution quality and speed remains a challenge, coupled with limited adaptability and scalability for addressing varying attributes, sizes, or complexities of problems. This project seeks to overcome these limitations by exploring innovative strategies that leverage the power of AI. The planning grant activities will involve extensive literature reviews, pilot studies, interdisciplinary collaborations, the identification of critical issues and knowledge gaps, and the design of a comprehensive research methodology. These activities will deepen understanding in AI technologies, HPC techniques, parallel optimization, mathematical programming, and power system engineering. Particularly, they will underscore the combined benefits and applications of these techniques for developing next-generation AI-assisted High-Performance Parallel Computing (AI-HPPC) methods and tools. These efforts are also instrumental in increasing the intellectual merit and broader impacts of the planning grant, aligning the prepared full HBCU-EiR proposal with targeted NSF research funding programs, and ultimately elevating the accomplishments of the future full HBCU-EiR research project.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.

在日益激烈的社会中，对电力的依赖日益增长给能源行业带来挑战，尤其是随着现代电网的变革性变化的发展。强大的电力系统及其最佳操作的至关重要的重要性是对可靠，弹性，可持续，高效和负担得起的电力的需求强调了。解决现代电力系统操作中大规模，地理分布和互连的非线性网络的复杂性需要先进的计算技术。该计划赠款项目旨在为一项全面的研究计划奠定基础，并研究平行算法和高性能计算（HPC）技术如何在人工智能（AI）技术的帮助下如何有效地解决电力系统操作中复杂的优化问题。该询问的成功结果有可能通过系统的电力系统优化产生数十亿美元的美国能源领域的每年节省。尽管最近的进步是在平行算法和HPC技术中取得的进步，但它们的一致有效性在满足严格的电力系统操作要求方面的一致性下降了。在解决方案质量和速度之间达到灵活的平衡仍然是一个挑战，再加上有限的适应性和可扩展性来解决各种属性，大小或问题的复杂性。该项目试图通过探索利用AI力量的创新策略来克服这些局限性。计划赠款活动将涉及广泛的文献综述，试点研究，跨学科合作，识别关键问题和知识差距以及全面研究方法的设计。这些活动将加深对AI技术，HPC技术，并行优化，数学编程和电力系统工程的理解。特别是，它们将强调这些技术用于开发下一代AI辅助高性能并行计算（AI-HPPC）方法和工具的综合优势和应用。这些努力也有助于提高计划赠款的智力优点和更广泛的影响，使准备完整的HBCU-EIR建议与有针对性的NSF研究资助计划保持一致，并最终提高了未来完整的HBCU-EIR研究的成就。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务和Intelpriation的范围。
