The University of Florida was awarded a $359,689 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to characterize the capacity of controllable distributed energy resources to provide energy storage services to the power grid. The three-year project beginning July 1, 2021 will evaluate how devices like batteries and electric vehicles can support energy storage when connected to the grid. As the place of performance is listed as Gainesville, Florida, it can be inferred the University will conduct research and testing at its facilities located there to develop insights into how different technologies can help stabilize the grid and integrate renewable energy sources through energy storage capabilities. The outcomes of this research have the potential to inform future grid modernization efforts seeking greater reliability and resilience through storage solutions.
