Distinct: A Distributed Multi-Loop Networked System for Wide-Area Control of Large Power Grids
Description
Distinct aims to improve the robustness and reliability of electric power systems by creating a distributed multi-loop networked system for wide-area control of large power grids.
RENCI's Role
This project aims to develop a transformative distributed networked control system for wide-area power grid systems. RENCI is one of three collaborating institutions, along with North Carolina State University and the University of South Florida. The project uses the RENCI-developed ExoGENI testbed for experiments.
