The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $267,323 Project Grant to the CAL Poly Corporation at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. The grant, funded through the NSF Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041), supports the development of new computing methods to improve the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of the electric power grid.

Specifically, the project team will research electronic analog and hybrid computing approaches to address challenges introduced by the rapid adoption of distributed energy resources, such as solar and wind power, and electric vehicle charging on the grid. The researchers aim to develop modeling, analysis, and benchmarking tools to facilitate the implementation of critical algorithms and software for the future power grid that are not practical with traditional digital computing. The potential advancements could also benefit other sectors like transportation and manufacturing. Over the 3-year project period, the team will focus on three key areas: 1) modeling and analysis, 2) design automation, and 3) performance assessment of electronic analog and hybrid computing systems.
