Welcome

The CUNY Smart Grid Interdependencies Laboratory (SGIL) at the City College of New York is a research group focused on: the rising interdependencies between the power grid and other critical infrastructures; power system resilience; microgrids; renewable energy; and electric vehicles. We use our expertise with power system fundamentals, control, operation and protection, as well as analytical and machine-learning based tools to contribute to the national call for a greener, more efficient, reliable and resilient power grid. The following list summarizes some of the research thrusts that we are currently focusing on.

  • We utilize our expertise with power system fundamentals to contribute to the national call for a greener, more efficient, reliable and resilient electric grid.

  • Prof. Mohamed receives the NSF CAREER Award.

  • We employ concepts of complex network analysis and AI to analyze and mitigate the rising inter dependencies between the smart grid and other critical infrastructures.

  • We work with New York State, ConEd, and New York City Transit on making the subway more efficient and resilient.

  • We develop novel techniques to control renewable energy-based microgrids and community microgrids.

  • We have developed a state-of-the-art microgrid testbed setup.
