Smart Grid with Machine Learning for Grid Disaster

Mitigation
Introduction
A resilient power distribution system that allows DER integration is an inevitable part of the future, however,
recent disasters have suggested the need for immediate improvements in vulnerable parts of our community such
as child care centers and old age homes. This study strives to provide a Cyber-Physical solution through assimilated
innovations in Power Electronics, Communications and Machine Learning systems.
