2010
The Energy Research Initiative (ERI) is created to enable reliable low-cost renewable energy systems and efficient energy use and distribution through an enabled and optimized smart grid.
Highlights
- Part of ERI, The Network for Photovoltaic Technology (NPT) Center at Purdue University is addressing the performance, cost, reliability and manufacturing challenges of photovoltaic technologies.
- A multi-university Smart Grid Research Center (SGRC) at Carnegie Mellon University—also a part of ERI—is working to support the incorporation of renewable energy resources and to provide the modeling, simulation and control tools needed to manage, optimize and secure the power grid.
- New and emerging research initiatives are being explored in the areas of bioelectronics, sensors research and cyber security.
- The twelfth TECHCON is held in Austin, Texas and includes 144 student-presented technical papers and posters representing a broad cross-section of SRC-funded research. Total attendance reached 437, including 184 industry participants, three government participants, 12 faculty, 210 students and 28 others, making for outstanding networking and technical exchange.
