Abstract: State estimation is a critical application in energy management systems. Due to the increased penetration of inverter-based resources, installed advanced infrastructure at all voltage levels, and unconventional loads like electric vehicle charging stations, a three-phase state estimator formulation is essential. The first issue is the convoluted formulation and modeling techniques that are required in three-phase systems studies. Moreover, the size of network matrices expanded, which makes the analysis computationally costly. This dissertation addresses this by proposing a new decoupled…

Trust Dynamics with AI in High-Consequence Work Systems Wednesday, 12/7/2022 from 1 - 2 pm ISEC 532 & Zoom Zoom: https://northeastern.zoom.us/j/96750528112?pwd=Z3M0b1Z0QTZFaWM3QzZ5bC92SjFUZz09 Steve Dorton Principal Scientist for Sensemaking, Decision Making, and AI The MITRE Corporation Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often viewed as the means by which intelligence analysts will cope with the ever-increasing deluge of data from various sources. The best AI is moot, however, if analysts cannot trust the outputs of the AI to inform high-consequence decision making. A naturalistic…
