Resilient Power Grids
Smart grid system deployment has been a major point of concern and interest in the development of the future elec-
tric grid both here in the US and abroad. Variety of definitions, semantics, interpretations of its functionality have
been given by designers, implementers, end users, standard and security organizations and university communities.
Several functions and applications have been proposed in the electric power industry and other related fields have
yet to be properly measured by the designers.
To ensure that the capability of smart grid and its functionality are understood generally stakeholders need perfor-
mance metric such as resilience, sustainability and reliability and efficiency to measure its deployment.
In this presentation we plan to provide a working definition, architecture and test beds in common use as well as
define some of the functionality of smart grid for its deployment in the 21st century for the development of future
electric grid.
Further, we will address the grand challenge problems and options for assessing the overall performance of the
future grid, which will include identification of unified knowledge from different disciplines to address some of the
challenge problems, will be highlighted in the presentation.
On going research activities and open research questions to further improve the high performance smart grid, which
will be of value to university researchers, developers and policy makers will be discussed.

Biography: Dr. James Momoh
Dr. James Momoh, Professor and Director, Center for Energy Systems and Control (CESaC) Howard University,
received a BS in Electrical Engineering from Howard University in 1975, a MS in Electrical Engineering from
Carnegie Mellon University in 1976, a MS in Systems Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1980
and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Howard University in 1983. He was Chair of the Electrical Engineering
Department at Howard University and Director of the Center for Energy Systems and Control. In 1987, Momoh
received a National Science Foundation (NSF) Presidential Young Investigator Award. He was Program Director
of the Power program in the Electrical and Communications Systems (ECS) Division at NSF from 2001-2004.
Momoh is a Fellow at the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineering (IEEE) and a Distinguished Fellow at
the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE). He was inducted as a Fellow Member of Nigerian Academy of Engi-
neering (NAE) in 2004.
Momoh’s current research activities for utility firms and government agencies span several areas in systems engi-
neering, optimization and energy systems control of terrestrial, space and naval complex and dynamic networks.
These include but are not limited to the development of multi-agent, intelligent optimization technologies; next-
generation optimization for the design of future intelligent power grids; computational tools and algorithms for
deregulated/restructured power economies; and advanced power management strategies for stressed power systems
with uncertainty, dynamics and stochasticity of parameters. He has also led research and education outreach and
collaborations in information technology, environment, energy and human capacity building to involve the United
States and other countries worldwide. This has led to a number of international conferences, workshops and semi-
nar series, and research and education in engineering programs that are sponsored by NSF, Howard University and
several universities and public-private agencies.
