Lead Instructor: Ernst Camm, S&C Electric Company
This tutorial examines technologies and application from the perspective of smart grid installation. The course begins with a broad overview of intelligent equipment and services. At the same time, students are introduced to a handful of lessons learned and insight into final application of Smart Grid project implementations.
- Loop systemsPhysical security and level of qualityGreater number of intelligent devices and services: DG, Storage, Real-time monitoring, AMI, EV, etc.
- Insight into final applications and their level of maturity
Speaker’s bio: Ernst Camm has been actively involved in the Power Industry for the last 20 years. He is currently Manager of Consulting and Analytical Services at S&C Electric Company. His experience include consulting and engineering analyses in areas such as microgrids, voltage stability, large wind and solar plant modeling and interconnection, transients and power quality, and application of large-scale reactive power compensation and power quality equipment solutions.

Lead Instructor: Dr. Saman Zonouz, University of Miami
Secure and reliable operation of next-generation cyber-physical systems, especially smart-grid infrastructures, will require executive security solutions to provide situational awareness, safety property verification, and intrusion tolerance capabilities. Continuous and precise comprehension of the systems security status and potential threats will enable operators and/or automated response systems to prepare proactively against adversarial coordinated activities, such as coordinated cyber and physical intrusions. In this talk, we will overview the smart-grid security problem, in particular, potential threats and possible countermeasures in such cyber-physical environments. Additionally, we will review several solutions to model, predict, detect, and tolerate complex security incidents in computing, physical, or communication assets of the smart-grid in a real-time manner.
Speaker’s Bio: Professor Saman Zonouz is with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Miami. He is the Director of the 4N6 Cyber Security and Forensics Laboratory. He has been awarded the Faculty Fellowship Award by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research in 2013, EARLY CAREER Research award from University of Miami (UM) in 2012 as well as the Provost Research award from UM in 2011. He has served as a member in several program committees, and the Chair of the IEEE SmartGridComm Conference in 2012, as well as the Publication Chair of the IEEE Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing Conference in 2013. His group's research projects have been funded by several government agencies such as Office of Naval Research, Department of Energy (ARPAE - Advanced Research Projects Agency Energy), and Fortinet Corporation. His current research focuses on Systems Security and Privacy, more specifically Trustworthy Critical Cyber-Physical Power-Grid Infrastructures as well as Intrusion Forensics and Tolerance. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science (Intrusion Tolerance Solutions for the Power-Grid) from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2011.
