A Backend Framework for the Efficient Management of Power System Measurements
Increased adoption and deployment of phasor measurement units (PMU) has
provided valuable fine-grained data over the grid. Analysis over these data can
provide insight into the health of the grid, thereby improving control over
operations. Realizing this data-driven control, however, requires validating,
processing and storing massive amounts of PMU data. This paper describes a PMU
data management system that supports input from multiple PMU data streams,
features an event-detection algorithm, and provides an efficient method for
retrieving archival data. The event-detection algorithm rapidly correlates
multiple PMU data streams, providing details on events occurring within the
power system. The event-detection algorithm feeds into a visualization
component, allowing operators to recognize events as they occur. The indexing
and data retrieval mechanism facilitates fast access to archived PMU data.
Using this method, we achieved over 30x speedup for queries with high
selectivity. With the development of these two components, we have developed a
system that allows efficient analysis of multiple time-aligned PMU data
streams.Comment: Published in Electric Power Systems Research (2016), not available

Deep Fluids: A Generative Network for Parameterized Fluid Simulations
This paper presents a novel generative model to synthesize fluid simulations
from a set of reduced parameters. A convolutional neural network is trained on
a collection of discrete, parameterizable fluid simulation velocity fields. Due
to the capability of deep learning architectures to learn representative
features of the data, our generative model is able to accurately approximate
the training data set, while providing plausible interpolated in-betweens. The
proposed generative model is optimized for fluids by a novel loss function that
guarantees divergence-free velocity fields at all times. In addition, we
demonstrate that we can handle complex parameterizations in reduced spaces, and
advance simulations in time by integrating in the latent space with a second
network. Our method models a wide variety of fluid behaviors, thus enabling
applications such as fast construction of simulations, interpolation of fluids
with different parameters, time re-sampling, latent space simulations, and
compression of fluid simulation data. Reconstructed velocity fields are
generated up to 700x faster than re-simulating the data with the underlying CPU
solver, while achieving compression rates of up to 1300x.Comment: Computer Graphics Forum (Proceedings of EUROGRAPHICS 2019),
