Professor Mladen Kezunovic delivered an insightful lecture titled “Risk Management of Future Large-Scale Electrification” at SEERC 2025, highlighting how emerging risks—from environmental impacts to aging infrastructure and massive integration of inverter-based resources—can cascade across critical systems. He presented advanced AI- and ML-driven approaches for predicting and mitigating grid risks, illustrated through a State-of-Risk-Prediction use case for outage forecasting and risk-based control. The talk emphasized that ensuring future reliability and resilience will require not only technical innovation but also societal, regulatory, and legislative readiness for large-scale electrification.
