SGR 2019 - 1st International SmartGrid Resilience (SGR) Workshop

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working in the broad area of resilience in Smart Grids (SGs). The domain of resilience covers a range of issues related with the defense, detection, diagnosis and remediation of challenges initiated in the cyber and power infrastructure of the SG as well as with its recovery and refinement.
The focus of the workshop will be on communication, networking and system-oriented techniques that tackle challenges initiated on the various networked components composing the communication infrastructure of the SG that directly affect the high-level functions of the demand-response (DR) model, smart metering, electric vehicles (i.e. automated (dis)-charging based on dynamic pricing signals), outage management, distributed energy resources and cyber-security. Given the diversity of heterogeneous environments (e.g. sensor networks, HAN networks, Advanced Metering Infrastructure) integrated in modern SG deployments, the emerging technologies incorporated in each as well as external factors (e.g. environmental conditions) there is still a challenging gap regarding the composition of holistic resilience schemes.
Therefore, in this workshop, researchers working on emerging problems on different sectors of the SG share their latest results, formulate new problems from both communication, networking and data analytics perspectives, and create awareness about their practical significance with respect to the overall resilience of the SG.
