Tim Heidel at PNNL

April 28, 2015

In preparation for the meeting, the attendees, Tim Heidel and David Guarerra from ARPA-E and PNNL staff, were sent a draft white paper and the agenda.

Feng Pan presented the case for PNNL hosting the Competition.

At the end of the meeting, Heidel officially asked PNNL to prepare a non-competitive proposal for supporting the Competition in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin - Madison and Arizona State University. He was very much impressed by the breadth and depth of PNNL's work as well as the high quality of the multi-disciplinary team. PNNL received permission to support the Competition and compete for GRID DATA funding. 

The final problem definition and associated data remained to be determined, although security constrained ACOPF is Heidel's favorite.
