"Mathematical Sciences Research Challenges for the Next-Generation Electric Grid" by Michelle Schwalbe, Rap

The book identifies critical areas of mathematical and computational research that must be addressed for the next-generation electric transmission and distribution system and to identify future needs and ways that current research efforts in these areas could be adjusted or augmented.

If the United States is to sustain its economic prosperity, quality of life, and global competitiveness, it must continue to have an abundance of secure, reliable, and affordable energy resources. There have been many improvements in the technology and capability of the electric grid over the past several decades.
Many of these advances to the grid depend on complex mathematical algorithms and techniques, and as the complexity of the grid has increased, the analytical demands have also increased.
This volume summarizes the presentations and discussions from the study of the Committee on Analytical Research Foundations for the Next-Generation Electric Grid.
