The Digitizing Utilities Prize administrators have collected several resources to support teams with their Phase 1 submissions. You can find these resources, along with the official prize rules, under the “Resources” section on HeroX. 

 

  • Grid Signature Library: The Grid Signature Library initiative at DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is focused on the development of the well-defined, curated, and free-to-access smart library to increase the resilience and swift response against malfunctions of grid infrastructure.
  • North American SynchroPhasor Initiative: The mission of the North American SynchroPhasor Initiative (NASPI) is to improve power system reliability and visibility through wide area measurement and control, by fostering the use and capabilities of synchrophasor technology.
  • Big Data Synchrophasor Analysis: These eight projects supported by the Department of Energy explore the use of big data, artificial intelligence, and machine-learning technology and tools on phasor measurement units data to identify and improve existing knowledge, and to discover new insights and tools for better grid operation and management.
  • Transmission Reliability Program: The Transmission Reliability Program was established to support collaboration between the national labs, electricity industry, and Department of Energy to develop technologies that keep the nation’s electric grid resilient and secure, while cutting electricity bills and facilitating the integration of renewable energy.
  • Power System Sensing, Data Processing, Analysis, and Visualization: A collection of additional resources for electricity data developed by the Department of Energy.
