Engineers verifying new testing procedures for connecting distributed energy resources to the power grid had little trouble creating real-world test conditions, thanks to equipment and expertise available at the FREEDM Systems Center. In fact, in their two days of work […]

Inside the Green Energy Hub at the FREEDM Systems Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, researchers ran into a problem while testing a prototype of an innovative battery charger that could charge electric vehicles more quickly. A resistor load bank that […]

The most tense moment flying a solar powered plane is right at dawn. That’s when the batteries are at their lowest energy and you hope the meteorologists’ models are correct that you aren’t flying into a cloudy morning. Since the […]

Every year, the National Science Foundation awards three year fellowships to graduate students in the United States. This year, the NSF received 17,000 applications and awarded 2,000 fellowships. One of those awards went to Kristen Garcia, a PhD candidate in […]

I’m a 2015 B.S.E. graduate of Murray State University located in Murray, KY and currently finishing my first year as a PhD student in power electronics. My research work is a modular design of Solid State Transformers (SSTs) under Dr. […]
