RT25 | Transforming Grid Modernization: Advancing Optimal Dispatch for Resilient and Reliable Grids

Dr. Zongjie Wang from Colorado State University presents advanced multi-stage optimal dispatch modeling (PPOPF) to enhance grid resilience and reliability. Her research integrates OPAL-RT real-time co-simulation tools with DER modeling and AI-based decision systems. Applications include Eversource grid resilience, ISO-NE TSO-DSO coordination, DOE vegetation management, and CSU’s Grid Modernization Initiative.
