Stony Brook University is developing "AI-Grid," an artificial intelligence-enabled autonomous grid aimed at enhancing the resilience of power infrastructure against cyberattacks, faults, and disasters. Led by Professor Peng Zhang, the project is supported by a $5 million cooperative agreement from the National Science Foundation's Convergence Accelerator Program. The initiative involves a multidisciplinary team and over 30 partnerships with utilities, government agencies, and research institutions. AI-Grid integrates deep learning, encrypted control, and active fault management to create a lightweight, secure, and replicable solution for modernizing electrical grids.
