Securing a smarter grid of the future involves an engaged and informed society. TCIPG approaches this challenge on many levels. Our weeklong, intensive summer schools offer academics and practitioners essential principles of cybersecurity and power grid systems with an emphasis on understanding how to apply these concepts to an evolving, smarter energy system. We’ve also developed some interactive learning tools that are popular with the public across many age groups. Our online, iPad, and Android apps offer engaging options for exploring and learning about energy sources, power generation, and power distribution. Classroom ready supplements, science kits, and tabletop displays provide fun and interactive ways to illustrate math and science in the context of electricity and the power grid.

Experimental validation is critical for emerging research and technologies. The testbed supports TCIPG researchers by providing a combination of emulation, simulation, and real hardware to realize a large-scale, virtual environment that is measurable, repeatable, flexible, and adaptable to emerging technology while maintaining integration with legacy equipment. Its capabilities span transmission, distribution & metering, distributed generation, and home automation and control – providing true end-to-end capabilities for the smart grid. The testbed enables researchers to conduct, validate, and evolve cyber-physical research from fundamentals to prototype, and finally, transition to practice.
