| Abstract | This NSF CAREER project aims to develop a new way to control the growing number of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and small generators, that are transforming the nation’s power grid. As these devices become more widespread, traditional model-based control methods struggle to keep pace with the grid’s increasing complexity and data volume. The project will bring transformative change by introducing a geometry-based control paradigm that learns |
