This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) provides $449,998 to the University of Memphis to support the "International Grid Research and Advanced Training in Energy (INTEGRATE)" program. The INTEGRATE program prepares U.S. students to address modern energy challenges through hands-on research, workshops, and mentorship from experts in the U.S. and Europe. Students will explore how different countries manage energy systems, including electricity, heating, and transportation, to gain a global perspective and develop the technical skills and policy knowledge needed for leadership roles in the evolving energy sector. Key focus areas include modeling, control, and validation of distributed and interconnected energy systems, with a goal of improving performance, flexibility, and resilience. The program leverages the University of Memphis's power-hardware-in-the-loop testing facilities and advanced modeling tools, alongside the Technische Universität München's Center for Combined Smart Energy Systems in Germany, to provide students with real-world data and the opportunity to test advanced control strategies. This grant award runs from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028.
