Energy, Power, Control, and Networks

Recent advances in communications, computation, and sensing technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for the design of cyber-physical systems with increased responsiveness, interconnectivity and automation.

To meet new challenges and societal needs, the Energy, Power, Control andNetworks

credit:


(EPCN) Program invests in systems and control methods for analysis and design of cyber-physical systems to ensure stability, performance, robustness, and security.

Topics of interest include modeling, optimization, learning, and control of networked multi-agent systems, higher-level decision making, and dynamic resource allocation as well as risk management in the presence of uncertainty, sub-system failures and stochastic disturbances.

EPCN also invests in adaptive dynamic programing, brain-like networked architectures performing real-time learning, and neuromorphic engineering.

EPCN supports innovative proposals dealing with systems research in such areas as energy, transportation, and nanotechnology.

EPCN places emphasis on electric power systems, including generation, transmission, storage, and integration of renewables; power electronics and drives; battery management systems; hybrid and electric vehicles; and understanding of the interplay of power systems with associated regulatory and economic structures and with consumer behavior.

Also of interest are interdependencies of power and energy systems with other critical infrastructures.

Topics of interest also include systems analysis and design for energy scavenging and alternate energy technologies such as solar, wind, and hydrokinetic.

The program also supports innovative tools and test beds, as well as curriculum development integrating research and education.

In addition to single investigator projects, EPCN encourages cross-disciplinary proposals that benefit from active collaboration of researchers with complementary skills.

Proposals for the EPCN program may involve collaborative research to capture the breadth of expertise needed for such multidisciplinary integrative activities.

ECCS will consider supporting a limited number of small team proposals of three or more Investigators from different disciplines and/or universities.

  • Control Theory and Hybrid Dynamical Systems
  • Networked Multi-agent Systems
  • Cyber Physical Systems Modeling and Control
