Power modules often fail at triple points where three materials come together and partial discharge can age the insulation. This presentation proposes a capacitive modeling method to reveal techniques to reduce the electric field intensity that were not previously obvious. Accounting for both parallel plate capacitance and fringing field effects, the model is verified through…
Presenter: Lidong Song, Ph.D. Student VIEW THE RECORDING HERE. It is a common practice for utilities to down-sample smart meter measurements from high resolution (e.g. 1-min or 1-sec) to low resolution (e.g. 15-, 30- or 60-min) to lower the data transmission and storage cost. However, down-sampling can remove high-frequency components from time-series load profiles, making…
Presenters: Ashwin Shirsat, Valliappan Muthukaruppan, and Rongxing Hu Extreme weather events can cause long duration outages on the distribution grid. However, systems with high PV penetration have more options for resiliency. This presentation will describe three energy management frameworks using community microgrids, mobile energy storage units, and Megawatt scale PV generation. These frameworks prioritize critical…
Save the Date for the 2022 FREEDM Annual Research Symposium! Registration is coming soon. Go here to revisit last year's presentations and student videos.
Please join the Charged EV Virtual Conference for the panel session titled "Trends and Challenges on the Road to EV Charging Infrastructure Implementation" featuring Filippo Chimento from ABB, Justin Kolbe from Henkel Corporation, and our own Srdjan Lukic.
FREEDM Systems Center Director of Industry and Innovation, Ken Dulaney, will be presenting an overview of FREEDM research to this conference on Monday, June 13, in Myrtle Beach, SC. Learn more about the school here.
North Carolina State University and FREEDM will be well represented at the IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting to be held July 17 to 21 in Denver, Colorado. Be sure to stop by and meet the student presenters.
