Abstract

Exploratory research in intelligent and adaptive control systems at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) attempts to combine the goal of finding innovative and valuable applications specific to the electric power industry with the equally important goal of establishing fundamental theory or reliable procedures for the design and development of adaptive and intelligent systems. The largest block of this research consists of twenty-one projects that make up the Intelligent Control Systems Initiative, jointly funded by EPRI and the National Science Foundation. Most of these projects began in 1993 and will continue for three years. The rest of EPRI's exploratory research projects, that address intelligent and adaptive control in general, are part of the program in applied mathematics and information science (AM&IS). This area emphasizes fundamental theory and design procedures. However, the AM&IS program also includes projects that seek to invent and test new techniques and new applications whose success appears relatively risky at the beginning of the project.
