1 Using Unmanned Aerial Systems Inside and Outside the Co-op Peter L. Fuhr, Ph.D. Distinguished Scientist UAS Research Center, Technology Director Right here February 17, 2016

2 Cyber in today s world

3 ORNL is DOE s Largest Science and Energy Laboratory $1.5B budget 4,400 employees 3,000 research guests annually $750 million invested in modernization Nation s largest materials research portfolio World s most powerful open scientific computing facility Nation s most diverse energy portfolio Operating the world s most intense pulsed neutron source Managing the billiondollar U.S. ITER project

4 Focusing our energy R&D portfolio on delivering systems-level solutions Advanced manufacturing Vehicle technologies Building technologies Integrated energy systems

5 The National Center for Computational Sciences is one of the world s most powerful computing facilities Titan Peak performance 27 PF/s Memory 710 TB Disk bandwidth 240 GB/s Square feet 5,000 Power 8.8 MW Data Storage Spider File System 10 PB capacity 240 GB/s bandwidth HPSS Archive 240 PB capacity 5 Tape libraries Kraken Peak performance 1.17 PF/s Memory 147 TB Disk bandwidth > 50 GB/s Square feet 2,300 Power 3.5 MW Data Analytics & Visualization LENS cluster Ewokcluster EVEREST facility urika data appliance Gaea Peak Performance 1.1 PF/s Memory 240 TB Disk Bandwidth 104 GB/s Square feet 1,600 Power 2.2 MW Networks ESnet 100 Gbps Internet2 10 Gbps XSEDEnet 10 Gbps Private dark fibre

6 We have sensors to monitor overall grid health Synchrophasors function much like an EKG that utilizes sensors placed along the human body to monitor heart and vascular system health in real-time. GridEye Sensors placed across the USA can detect abnormal operating modes in real time. 6

7 Who s this guy talking? My name is Peter Lake Region Elec Co-op (I started here) Pelican Rapids, MN (doncha know!) Reading meters a lot of using a shovel

8 I have over 4000 colleagues doing some amazing stuff

24 Use Cases SAFETY AND COST AVOIDANCE DRIVEN o Substation Sensing Thermal imaging for substation equipment (such as large $1M+ transformers) Corona discharge (essentially tuned radio frequency sensors) Vibration sensors (for machine state condition monitoring). Intrusion cellsignal detection Ambient environment temp, pressure, humidity, chemicals, doors o Smart home profiling (necessary for validation of power pricing models) o Underground vaults detection of smoke, chemicals (Nat gas), power flow In coordination with Drone Use Cases Older sections of transmission lines that are difficult to access inspection support Energized conductor that is on the ground or sagging really low. Assess storm damage. Routine inspections of lines that run across difficult terrain. Quality control The auditing of these operations after the work is performed Centralized Monitoring and Control.
