wind farm

Our Research Program focuses on three thrust areas with ten sub-thrusts. Researchers from across partner campuses provide critical expertise, research capabilities and leadership.

System Demonstration

  • 1MW FREEDM System Green Energy Hub (GEH) Testbed and Demonstration
  • Hardward-in-the-loop (HIL) Testbed
  • Large Scale System Simulation (LSSS) Testbed

Enabling Technologies

  • Reliable and Secured Communications (RSC)
  • Distributed Grid Intelligence (DGI)
  • Distributed Energy Storage Device (DESD)
  • Fault Isolation Device (FID)
  • Solid-State Transformer (SST)

Fundamental Science

  • Systems Theory Modeling and Control (SMC)
  • Advanced Storage (AS)
  • Post-Silicon Devices (PSD)

Highlighting the research program will be a 1 megawatt FREEDM System demonstration grid for renewable energy on the NC State Centennial Campus.
