About this award
The Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $3.64 million cooperative agreement to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University on July 8, 2026, under the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy program (CFDA 81.135) to develop a multi-port DC grids energy router utilizing a modular field programmable power array (FPPA) that enables seamless interconnection and dynamic power routing between macro-DC and bulk AC grids. The system leverages high-frequency silicon carbide technology to deliver superior power density and control bandwidth compared to traditional converters, enhancing grid stability, resilience, and fault protection. Performance occurs in Blacksburg, Virginia, with a period of performance extending through August 31, 2029. The award includes a period-of-performance revision under Amendment 0001.
Description
Virginia polytechnic institute and state university control number: 3499-1534 FOA number: DE-FOA-0003499 (DC-grids) project title: ''DC grids energy router with field programmable power array (fppa)'' the proposed multi-port energy router utilizes a modular field programmable power array (fppa) to enable seamless interconnection and dynamic power routing between macro-DC and bulk AC grids. By leveraging high-frequency silicon carbide technology, this system delivers vastly superior power density and control bandwidth compared to traditional converters, significantly enhancing overall grid stability, resilience, and fault protection.
