This year marks 30 years since the relationship between ABB and NC State began. Over the decades the partnership has grown, playing a critical role in NC State’s research advancements focused on smart energy — working to improve the reliability and reducing the cost and environmental impact of electric power systems.
“ABB has been a full member of the FREEDM Center from the very beginning, since 2008,” said Dr. Iqbal Husain, ABB Distinguished Professor in the NC State Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the FREEDM Systems Center’s director. “They serve as a member on our industry advisory board, and we work on joint proposals together.”
