Planning Grant for an I/UCRC in Grid-connected Advanced Power Electronic Systems (GRAPES) 0832538 University of Arkansas (lead institution); Homer Mantooth 0832467 University of South Carolina; Roger Dougal The University of Arkansas and University of South Carolina propose a planning grant for a collaborative center "Center for Grid-Connected Advanced Power Electronic Systems (GRAPES)." Advanced grid control is a critical issue facing the US power grid today, especially with the increase in renewable power generation. The main objectives of the proposed center are the following: to develop new advanced power electronic systems, to develop the analysis tools for predicting and controlling the system behavior, and to educate and train the qualified manpower who understand the system benefits derived from the emerging technologies. The University of Arkansas has recently developed a major test facility, which will be critical to a number of the proposed projects. The proposed center will develop leading-edge industry relevant research that will provide the basis for effective development of the 21st century Future Grid. Continuing education of working power and utility engineers will be an important part of the GRAPES plan. The center will address the shortage of power engineers that is forecasted to emerge by 2010 by educating graduates for power management industries. Preliminary plans to add other universities to the proposed center, including universities in other countries, will be finalized during the planning period. Both the University of Arkansas and University of South Carolina have important initiatives that will serve to broaden representation of all people groups in this field. The center research theme will inherently have a major impact on society.

并网先进电力电子系统（GRAPES）I/UCRC规划补助金0832538阿肯色州大学（牵头机构）; Homer Mantooth 0832467南卡罗来纳州大学; Roger Dougal 阿肯色州大学和南卡罗来纳州大学提议为协作中心“并网先进电力电子系统中心（GRAPES）”提供规划拨款。“先进的电网控制是当今美国电网面临的一个关键问题，特别是随着可再生能源发电量的增加。 该中心的主要目标是：开发新的先进电力电子系统，开发用于预测和控制系统行为的分析工具，并教育和培训了解新兴技术带来的系统效益的合格人才。 阿肯色州大学最近开发了一个主要的测试设施，这对一些拟议的项目至关重要。 拟建中心将开展前沿产业相关研究，为有效开发21世纪世纪未来电网提供基础。 工作电力和公用事业工程师的继续教育将是GRAPES计划的重要组成部分。该中心将通过培养电力管理行业的毕业生来解决预计到2010年出现的电力工程师短缺问题。 在规划期间，将最后确定将其他国家的大学包括在内的其他大学加入拟议中心的初步计划。 阿肯色州大学和南卡罗来纳州大学都有重要的举措，将有助于扩大这一领域所有人群的代表性。 该中心的研究主题必然会对社会产生重大影响。
