The National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded Iowa State University a $500,714 Project Grant under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will support research from February 2021 through January 2026 to learn smart meter data to enhance distribution grid modeling and observability. Through this funding, Iowa State University researchers will analyze smart meter data to improve modeling of the electrical distribution system and increase visibility of distribution grid operations. By enhancing distribution grid models and observability using smart meter data, this research has the potential to benefit electric utilities and consumers through improved reliability, efficiency and integration of distributed energy resources.
