Our Research Focus
We are dedicated to shaping the future of power and energy systems. Our research focuses on integrating renewable energy, electric vehicles, energy storage, data centers, and advanced control into modern electric grids — ensuring reliability, resilience, and sustainability amid rapid technological change.
We combine fundamental research with practical, real-world solutions to deliver innovations that can be deployed at scale.
Renewables & Energy Storage Integration
Designing optimal planning and control strategies for PV and battery energy storage systems to enhance grid reliability, resiliency, and efficiency.
Resilient Power Distribution Systems
Leveraging distributed energy resources (DERs), such as PV, battery energy storage systems, and smart inverters, to improve recovery and reliability during extreme weather and emergencies.
Electric Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Managed Charging
Developing incentive-aware optimization and operational strategies for EV fleets to provide grid services.
Advanced Grid Modeling & Optimization
Applying centralized and distributed optimization for scalable and realistic grid planning tools.
Our Vision
We aim to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, equitable, and resilient energy future by bridging the gap between research and industry needs. Our solutions are designed to empower communities, strengthen critical infrastructure, and unlock new opportunities in the clean energy economy.
