The DOE-funded Power Systems Engineering Research Center (PSERC) is offering a free public webinar that will present the results of a study conducted by WSU, Cornell, and ISO-NE aimed at understanding the practical challenges associated with using cloud computing infrastructures to monitor PMU devices in a deployment intended to be similar in scope and scale to the Northeastern regional power pool. The presenter will discuss security requirements, options, and their degree of match, as well as several latencies. They will also describe performance of the system when two identical systems are deployed with one instance running on an Amazon data center on the US Northeast and the second running remotely in the Pacific Northwest to provide spacial redundancy.
The webinar will be led by Carl Hauser, a Clinical Associate Professor of Computer Science in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Washington State University. He has a Ph.D. from Cornell University, and spent 20-plus years with IBM Research and Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. Since joining WSU in 2001, Dr. Hauser has focused primarily on computer science research related to power grid operations, including distributed systems, networking, cyber security, modeling, and simulation.
The webinar will be held Tuesday, September 13, 2016, from 2-3 p.m. ET. No pre-registration is necessary.
