About this award

Iowa State University of Science and Technology received a $1.4 million cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability under the Electricity Research, Development and Analysis program (CFDA 81.122) awarded October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for September 30, 2028. The project, performed in Ames, Iowa, focuses on developing data-driven asset management solutions to enhance reliability and resilience of rural distribution grids.

The primary deliverables include the development of a physics-informed machine learning model for distribution transformer (DT) loading monitoring that will rectify transformer-customer connectivity records. The project will leverage this monitoring capability to provide online DT health assessment and remaining useful life estimation by analyzing both real-time advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) data streams and historical records. These automated and proactive asset management tools are designed to support rural utilities in optimizing transformer performance and extending infrastructure life through evidence-based decision-making.

Description

Data-driven automated and proactive asset management to enhance reliability and resilience of rural distribution grids the goal of this project is to develop a data-driven DT loading monitoring approach by developing a physics-informed machine learning model to rectify transformer-customer (t-c) connectivity records. Then, the DT loading monitoring results will be used to achieve online DT health assessment and remaining life estimation using both live-stream and historical AMI data.
