  1. EPRI/DoD Initiative on Complex Interactive Networks/Systems • Joint innovative research • EPRI and • Office of the Director of Defense Research and Engineering (ODDR&E)/Army Research Office (ARO) • Government Industry Cooperative University Research (GICUR) program • Budget: $30M for 5 years, $6M per year (half from DoD, half from EPRI) • Research Announcement: http://www.aro.army.mil/research/complex.htm • Presentation package at: http://www.epri.com/srd/cinsi • Workshop: IEEE Conf. on Decision & Control, Dec. 5, 1999, Phoenix

  2. Complex Interactive Networks/Systems Initiative • Complex interactive networks are omnipresent • Energy infrastructure • Telecommunication • Transportation and distribution • Banking and finance • They are fundamental to the economy and our quality of life.

  3. Cascading, Dependencies, Interactions, Large-scale Many nodes + Very many links + Vulnerability tocascading failures - owners, operators, sellers, buyers, customers. • Multi-layered, multi-resolutional intertwined grids. • Too complex for single central entity to evaluate, monitor, and manage in real time. • Too complex for conventional mathematical methodologies.

  4. Technical Objectives Develop tools/techniques that enable large-scale and interconnected national infrastructures to: self-stabilize, self-optimize, self-heal • Modeling: To develop techniques and simulation tools that help build a basic understanding of the dynamics of complex infrastructures. • Measurement: To develop measurement techniques for visualizing and analyzing large-scale emergent behavior in complex infrastructures. • Management: To develop distributed systems of management and control to keep infrastructures robust and operational.

  5. Selected Consortia: Technical AreasReviewed 30 proposals, selected and recommended funding of 6 consortia; selected 15 other consortia for potential funding. • Power Laws and the Power Grid: A Mathematical Foundation for Complex Interactive Networks Consortium: CalTech, MIT, UCLA, UC-Santa Barbara, U of Pittsburgh • Basic theory of complex interactive systems with application to power and communication networks • Power laws and the power grid: Analysis of optimization-induced power-law behavior in idealized networks (thousands of nodes). • Development of nonlinear model reduction capability to study dynamic models of the power grid of moderate scale (up to a hundred generators). • Context-Dependent Network Agents Consortium: Carnegie Mellon U, RPI, Texas A&M U, U of Minnesota, U of Illinois • Context-dependent network (CDN) agents; agent templates and components and development of models for restructured power system models • Power system modeling framework that maps global conditions into a distributed decision making architecture. • Real-time infrastructure for the agent modules and robust operating system for data communication: Development and demonstration of a context-dependent agent module architecture and preliminary agent coordination rules on two test scenarios.

  6. Selected Consortia: Technical Areas • Minimizing Failures While Maintaining Efficiency of Complex Interactive Networked Systems Consortium: Cornell U, George Washington U,UC-Berkeley, U of Illinois, Washington State U, U of Wisconsin • Implications of a wide distribution of independent entities actively interacting through and with complex interactive infrastructure networks.Potential for local actions to create effects that cascade throughout the network and/or into other networks. • Stochastic analysis and reliable performance of complex networks. • Definition and formulation of the layered network and their attributes. Coordinated approach to the several communication systems needed for the emergent power system. • Modeling and Diagnosis Methods for Large-Scale Complex Networks Consortium: Harvard U, Boston U, MIT, UMASS-Amherst, Washington U.-St. Louis • Discrete Event Dynamical Systems (DEDS): Simulation modeling of complex networks • Modeling and diagnosis methods for large-scale networks • Development advanced simulation tools (perturbation analysis and ordinal optimization) to improve robust stability and quick detection of faults in complex systems.

  7. Selected Consortia: Technical Areas • Intel. Manag’t of the Electric Power Grid: Anticipatory Multi-Agent, High Perf. Computing Approach Consortium: Purdue U, U of Tennessee, Fisk U, Commonwealth Edison, TVA • Energy Infrastructure management • Anticipatory multi-agent, high performance computing • Modeling of part of the grid (ComEd/TVA) for use in the development and testing of an anticipatory approach. • Innovative Tech. for Defense Against Catastrophic Failures of Complex, Interactive Power Networks Consortium: U of Washington, Arizona State U, Iowa State U, Virginia Tech • WAM for infrastructures • Self-healing strategies for competitive environments: Interactive power networks. • Conceptual design of the Strategic Power Infrastructure Defense (SPID) system: Model of the electricity markets; control and protection strategies against catastrophic failures; sensing, information, computing and control strategies.
