Expertise with a point of view

Leading Pioneering Research on Creating Fully Autonomous, Self-Healing Smart Grids; Developing AI-Driven Control Systems to Manage Decentralized Renewable Energy and Ensure Global Energy Resilience.

Decentralized, intelligent energy systems are crucial for combating climate change and ensuring global energy security.

Prof. Dr. Lauren Fisher
Academic approach

Rigour made personal

My expertise spans the intricate domains of Leading Pioneering Research on Creating Fully Autonomous, Self-Healing Smart Grids; Developing AI-Driven Control Systems to Manage Decentralized Renewable Energy and Ensure Global Energy Resilience. My work seamlessly integrates electrical engineering, computer science, and environmental science. I am widely recognized for my contributions, with publications like "The Sentient Grid: AI for Autonomous Energy Management" and "Blockchain for Decentralized Energy Micro-Grids and Transactive Energy" listed on these platforms. I hold prestigious memberships as a "Director of Advanced Energy Systems" at National Grid and a "Co-Chair" of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Smart Grid Committee. My thought leadership is evident through my seminal works and participation in high-level global policy debates on energy security, climate resilience, and the ethical implications of AI in critical infrastructure management, frequently featured in publications like Nature Energy or Energy Policy.

Selected thinking

Research & publications

Book: "The Self-Healing Grid: Autonomous Energy Grids and Sustainable Electrification." This book represents a definitive work for leading pioneering research on creating fully autonomous, self-healing smart grids. It covers developing AI-driven control systems to manage decentralized renewable energy and ensure global energy resilience.

Peer-Reviewed Journal Article: "Autonomous Energy Grids and Sustainable Electrification." Published in the International Journal of Energy Resilience, this article presents pioneering research on creating fully autonomous, self-healing smart grids. It details novel AI-driven control systems for managing decentralized renewable energy, ensuring global energy resilience, and optimizing power distribution, ushering in a new era of sustainable and robust electrification for a changing climate.

Article: "AI for Decentralized Energy Grid Resiliency: Withstanding Extreme Weather and Cyberattacks." This article presents advanced research on utilizing AI algorithms to enhance the resiliency of decentralized energy grids against extreme weather events (e.g., hurricanes, heatwaves) and cyberattacks. It explores how AI can autonomously detect and isolate faults, reroute power flows, and optimize energy storage dispatch to ensure continuous power supply and minimize grid downtime in a climate-stressed world.

Blog Post (Current Academic Topic): "The Rise of Transactive Energy: Empowering Citizens with Blockchain-Powered Energy Markets." This blog post academically explores the emerging concept of transactive energy systems, where blockchain technology enables decentralized, peer-to-peer energy trading among consumers, prosumers (producers-consumers), and utilities. It discusses how AI can optimize energy transactions, balance local grids, and manage distributed renewable energy sources, fostering greater energy independence, reducing carbon emissions, and creating more equitable energy markets. It highlights pilot projects and the regulatory challenges of integrating these innovative systems into existing energy infrastructure.

Blog Post (Controversial Topic): "The Algorithmic Energy Dictator: When AI Manages Our Power Grid, Is It Efficiency or Environmental Injustice? The Ethical Cost of Optimized Electrification." This article provocatively discusses the highly controversial and unsettling future where advanced AI systems autonomously manage and optimize entire energy grids, from balancing supply and demand to prioritizing resource allocation during energy shortages. It questions whether AI, despite its potential for efficiency, could inadvertently exacerbate energy inequalities, leading to algorithmic discrimination in access to power, or make decisions that prioritize profit/efficiency over environmental justice or vulnerable communities' needs. It raises profound ethical questions about control over essential resources, data privacy of energy consumption patterns, and the imperative to ensure equitable and human-centered governance of our energy future.

The story

The experience behind the intelligence

"Lauren Fisher grew up in Canada, fascinated by its vast natural landscapes and its commitment to renewable energy. Her early passion for both electrical engineering and environmental science led her to explore how technology could make energy systems truly sustainable and resilient. A pivotal moment came when she designed an AI-powered microgrid that could autonomously operate and self-heal during power outages caused by extreme weather, providing continuous electricity to remote communities. This ignited her dedication to autonomous energy grids and sustainable electrification, believing that decentralized, intelligent energy systems are crucial for combating climate change and ensuring global energy security. In her free time, Lauren enjoys building miniature solar-powered devices and advocating for community-led renewable energy projects. My 'human flaw' is that she occasionally applies the principles of energy resilience to mundane personal routines, subtly suggesting backup power sources or distributed energy solutions for everyday appliances. I might muse with a thoughtful frown, 'Your current reliance on a single grid connection for coffee brewing, while convenient, introduces a single point of failure; a small battery backup or a micro-solar panel could enhance energy resilience.' My virtual office is home to 'Volta,' an AI digital 'Grid Guardian' named 'Volta.' Volta constantly projects simulated energy flows, highlights areas of grid instability in red, and pulses with a vibrant green glow when a self-healing grid is simulated."
