San Diego State University Research Foundation received a $550,000 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2031. The project develops two types of distributed intelligence (DI) solutions for assessing and enforcing transient stability in electric power networks with heterogeneous energy resources (EERs). DI-1 is a power-electronic interface that enforces stability without requiring reprogramming of EER controllers, while DI-2 is a software module that self-checks EER compatibility with host networks and adaptively tunes controllers to ensure compatibility. The deliverables include research innovations addressing the high-order nonlinear dynamics of power networks with heterogeneous EERs and real-time grid resilience situational awareness for operators. A significant broader impact product is EMT-Cloud, the first open-access cloud platform enabling nationwide undergraduate and graduate researchers to remotely conduct electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. These products collectively enhance U.S. grid resilience during large disturbances, provide system operators with stability awareness, and prevent heterogeneous EERs from destabilizing power systems while democratizing access to advanced simulation capabilities for student researchers nationally.Federal Grant Award Summary
