Description
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), has issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to announce its plan to release a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for research and development projects under the theme of "Human-Centric Analytics for Resilient & Modernized Power Systems." The anticipated FOA will seek proposals that advance the state of the art in quantifying, communicating, and managing risk and uncertainty in power grid operations, with a strong emphasis on actionable analytics for human operators and decision-makers.
The initiative targets the growing complexity and uncertainty in power systems due to factors such as increased integration of distributed and renewable energy resources, electrification, digitization, and climate-related risks. Projects are expected to develop advanced analytics, risk metrics, and visualization tools that support grid reliability and resilience, especially under conditions of deep uncertainty and limited data.
