The Resilient Energy Systems Mission Campaign is organized around three technical thrusts answering fundamental questions to improving resilience among U.S. energy systems and other critical infrastructures. An integrated portfolio of projects across these three thrusts will result in a cohesive set of capabilities that can impact all missions and national security.

Thrust 1: Science of Vulnerabilities

Thrust 2: Materials, Device, & Cyber Innovation

Nano Structural Granular Metals for Improved EMP Protection

Novel material solution to achieve nanosecond responsive filters for EMP protection.

Discovery of New High-Frequency Magnetic Materials Enabled by Artificial Intelligence

Discover new soft ferrite materials and find the conditions for synthesis through AI.

Thrust 3: System-Level Threat-Informed Computational Science

Critical Node Identification, Vulnerability Modeling and Topology Optimization for the Electric Grid

Using physics-informed/constrained machine learning techniques, develop scalable methods that provide operators with situational awareness and operate-through capabilities to protect the grid against physical damage and interrupted service caused by cyber threats.

Power System Vulnerability Identification and Defense Through Deep Reinforcement Learning

Provides a new capability to examine infrastructure vulnerabilities at scale.

SHAZAM

SHAZAM is a technique for controlling power system
line and load relays to enable power systems
with geographically dispersed power electronics based
sources to be self-healing following major
disruptions, without the need for high-speed
networked communications.
