There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
As numerous sensors, such as smart meters and PMUs, continue to be added to the grid, the emerging information collected is becoming a valuable source to researchers and grid operators who seek to conduct advanced analytics on the smart grid. This research combines the latest machine learning and big data analytics techniques with the domain knowledge of the smart grid to explore the added value of the emerging power system data. This research develops data-driven solutions for the most pressing issues, such as load modeling, demand side management, and distributed energy resource hosting capacity analysis. The dissertation provides a set of examples to illustrate how the smart grid may benefit from the emerging data. These examples cover a broad range of smart grid analyses and applications, including residential photovoltaic system detection, electrical vehicle charging demand modeling, time-variant load modeling, and hosting capacity analysis.
