The National Science Foundation awarded Clarkson University a $382,895 Project Grant under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will fund a new three-year Research Experiences for Undergraduates site focusing on resilient, carbon-free U.S. electric power systems. Over the project period, Clarkson will host a ten-week summer research program for ten undergraduate students annually, with a goal of attracting at least 50% from research-limited institutions and underrepresented groups. Students will conduct research projects addressing challenges to achieving the nationwide goal of resilient carbon-free U.S. electric power systems by 2035, focusing on areas like grid asset hardening with 5G networks, renewable integration, data analytics for outage management, and cyber-resilient control of distributed energy resources. The program also includes professional development activities and field trips to stimulate interest in graduate studies in the electric power sector.
