Craig visited today's presenter, Dr. Ashwin Khambadkone, Program Director of the Experimental Power Grid Center (EPGC) 
in Singapore.  His is a state-of-the-art physical and computer modeling and simulation facility.

notes ... acceptance

Dr. Ashwin Khambadkone presentation

some running notes ...

a star / ices


- not Singapore centric

- experimental or ??
  therefore - yes -> EPGC

iGRID
 - intelligent electric network
iDER
 - intelligent decentralized energy resources
iEuse
  - intelligent Electric Use

    - includes supply

core:
INTELLIGENT & DECENTRALIZED

built on (Jurong Island)



phase I - manual configuration of circuits (eoY)
     II - 2-3 years 
    III - 


...

phase III
  - emulated any grid 
    - real time digitial simulator + amplifier
        power simulation



bipolar hvdc
  large, distant wind resources 
    eg. china


interest in open platform (realtime) planning / control


zonal configured grid
  (standard for ships)


Using Modelica




Questions...

Craig ... what's your involvement in cosim?

Ashwin ... investigating but no good core cosim platforms (use Modelica)
           emphasis on power
           protocol I2R

Craig ... have you looked at Modelica?
Chris D . can't hear 
       .. using an open source DE system (?)
            which has some libraries for comm
               and using electric model/code (MATLAB) from electric guys

?evaluate algorithms - approach to distributed control ('cause w/o communication )
Ashwin ... design & build tender (awarded to a Japanese company)

	   investigating, examining platforms for multi-agent sim / control
             - realtime (<1sec) ... spot price eg.              
             scheduling ... JADE?
             new hire   ... multi-agent, multi-machine UDP comm.



send Ashwin email ... open to 
Craig thanks ...



5a) update on co-chair
      ... Aaron
      Craig is extending for self nomination

      declare Aaron as co-chair (Craig to check bylaws)

5b) Tools and Inventory Survey
    - work is continuing on survey design 
      - Steffen
        - end of March additional discussion about technicalities of survey questions
        - next step:
          - small group discussion to refine survey design
            - Craig
              - use anonymous survey (monkey) 
                - Craig asking for members to identify people as target audience


5c) WG Schedule and Deliverables

    Craig ... ideas for interesting presenters
    balance on end of year
      survey
      concept piece ... WorkGroup
        
6) Any new WG business

7) 


restart biweekly
  suggest restart (skip 5-3 due to 5-17)
