Research in smart electric power systems

The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. This specific opportunity focuses on research in smart electric power systems, including development and testing of wide area monitoring and control systems, evaluating performance and resilience of controllers, cyber-physical system modeling and state estimation, and anomaly detection techniques using phasor measurement unit data and machine learning/artificial intelligence. The program is offered through the Computational and Information Sciences Directorate (CISD), which conducts research in disciplines relevant to achieving the digital battlefield. Scientists and Engineers at the CCDC Army Research Laboratory help shape and execute the Army's program for meeting the challenge of developing technologies that will support Army forces in meeting future operational needs by pursuing scientific research and technological developments in diverse fields.
