Protection systems are one of the most critical components in transmission system and becoming more digital with ongoing automation. These prone to vulnerabilities/attacks, exploitation these vulnerabilities may cause major impacts on electric grid performance. Multiple alarms reported control center could be a result faults (expected operations) or failures protection (anomalies/ unexpected operation). Situational awareness gained through sensors such as phasor measurement unit (PMU) data...
With ongoing automation and digitization of the electric power system, several Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) have been deployed for monitoring control. PMU data can multiple anomalies, many researchers in past concentrated on training machine/deep learning algorithms offline anomaly detection over (i.e., not real-time). These algorithms, when trained a sample rather than population dataset, fail to consider dynamic behavior grid real-time, resulting low accuracy. Considering (e.g., change...
Protection devices are considered to be the most critical components responsible for protecting electrical grid. Due recent technological advancements in grid, digitalization has played an influential role integration of digital protection systems. Incorporation systems made Transmission System more prone vulnerabilities and cyber-attacks. A cyber attack exploiting aims disrupt normal operations by raising multiple false alarms on a large scale creating conflicting confusing observation...
This work proposes a deep graph learning framework to identify, locate, and classify power, cyber, cyber power events at the distribution system level.

Buried pipelines, used by petrochemical industries in North America for transporting oil and derivatives, are often subjected to large deformations resulting from geo-environmental factors operating conditions, such as geotechnical movements, thermal strains, internal fluid pressure. Exceeding the critical deformation limit of these pipes initiates wrinkles, further increase may result fracture, thus jeopardizing safe operation a field pipeline. A recent fracture failed laboratory specimens...
Steel pipelines, buried in cold regions, often respond to thermal strains and/or geotechnical movement caused by factors such as thaw settlement, frost heave, and slope instability. These complex field conditions can impose large displacements on these resulting localized wrinkles well into the plastic range of pipe material. Eventually, there is a possibility fracture occurring at wrinkled location under continuous deformation. A recent failed laboratory specimen have been observed within...
Onshore steel pipelines, particularly buried in cold region, often subjected to extreme geo-environmental conditions, where significant inelastic deformation may occur resulting localized wrinkles. Under continued deformation, there is a possibility of excessive cross-sectional at wrinkle locations, eventually leading fracture or damage the pipe wall. A recent field and failed laboratory specimens under monotonic load history address necessity conducting comprehensive research program better...
