Prof. Mort Webster
Research Topic:
Bryan is using uncertainty aware tools for the design and operation of electric power grid systems with large amounts of variable renewables (e.g. wind and solar). His work explores the potential of distributed, demand side resources (demand response; distributed storage, including electric vehicles; micro generation; etc) and flexible transmission and distribution architectures to balance the uncertain dynamics and to provide grid services.
