🚨 Big news for the U.S. electric grid! 🚨 OE has teamed up with U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science & Office of Nuclear Energy, U.S. Department of Energy to fund research projects that will boost resilience against power loss and enable rapid response in grid crisis situations. Want to learn more about these awards and how they use machine learning and supercomputers to make the grid more flexible and reliable? Read below! 👇
The Department of Energy has funded $6 million in research projects for an inaugural partnership in two DOE offices to better prepare the nation for multiple disruptive power events and enable rapid response in a crisis for U.S. grid operators. DOE’s Office of Science Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) and DOE’s Office of Electricity (OE) will guide the research at five of the nation’s national laboratories in a new partnership. The need for faster computing of the vast amount of data on the grid will be addressed. The result of the work will help grid operators plan and implement solutions that bolster the reliability of our nation’s power grid and ensure affordable access to clean energy for every American.” https://lnkd.in/eZFwWu3Q

📢 Today, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Office of Electricity announced its intent to issue two funding opportunities, one to reduce the costs of High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power circuit breakers and the other to prevent cascading grid failures. Modernizing the grid through better HVDC circuit breakers and physics- and human behavior-aware analytics as well as risk and uncertainty characterization can allow more power on the grid, help prevent grid failures, and thus reduce the cost of energy while improving the reliability and resilience of the electric infrastructure.
