The Department of Energy awarded a $98,662,016 Project Grant under the Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience program (CFDA 81.254) to Switched Source LLC, a for-profit limited liability company focused on grid infrastructure and power distribution technologies. The grant will fund the deployment of medium-voltage power flow controllers, specifically the Phase-EQ device, to a large utility in order to enhance the utility's distribution system performance, reliability, and capacity. The key objectives are to increase the grid's load serving capacity, support electric vehicle and solar integration, and incorporate the power flow control technology into the utility's planning and operational practices. This project, titled "CARPE DIEM: Catalyzing the Adoption and Rollout of Power Electronics to Distribution Infrastructure to Enhance System Performance," runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029.
