This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems, under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041), provides $480,172 to develop modeling and experimentation frameworks for studying energy dynamics in modern power systems and power electronics. The University of Texas at Austin, through its parent organization the University of Texas System, will create equivalent circuit models for multidisciplinary systems incorporating closed-loop cyber controls. These models will enable the formulation of circuit representations for complex power grids utilizing extensive power electronics and fast controls from the converter level (watts) to the system level (megawatts). The award also outlines experimental methodologies for emulating multidisciplinary power systems and electromechanics. The work directly addresses challenges in designing sustainably powered future systems through a comprehensive framework for closed-loop modeling where energy links subsystem models.
