The I/UCRC for Novel High-Voltage/Temperature Materials and Structures plans to work jointly with electric utility, aerospace, nuclear, military, environmental, automotive, health, and other industries with needs of novel HV/T materials and structures. The objectives of the Center are: (1) Design of novel and evaluation of existing HV/T energy transmission/transfer multifunctional materials for next generation composite conductors, insulators, underground cables, towers, and other electric power transmission structures; (2) Design and development of novel advanced high energy transfer materials for aerospace, oil/gas, automotive, and other industrial applications; (3) Failure prediction and prevention of HV/T materials and structures under in-service conditions through state-of-the-art multi-scale modeling and material performance evaluations; (4) Development of new failure monitoring techniques and material repair methods in HV/T materials under laboratory conditions and their subsequent transfer to in-service inspection and repair.The proposed I/UCRC will seek to create a diverse and interdisciplinary educational, research and business environment for (1) undergraduate and graduate students, including those from underrepresented groups, funded by the research projects of the Center; (2) faculty members from a variety of disciplines, including junior faculty starting their academic careers; (3) utility, aerospace and national lab engineers and designers developing various types of HV/T materials and structures; and (4) utility managers supervising HV transmission lines across the country. The Center intends to enhance the reputation of the U.S. HV/T manufacturing around the world and, in particular, improve the level of confidence among the potential users of novel HV/T structures. The center targets long-term benefit to infrastructure, manufacturing, energy transport and efficiency of the electric grid, and the durability of other HV/T and high energy transfer structures.

新型高压/高温材料和结构I/UCRC计划与电力公用事业、航空航天、核、军事、环境、汽车、卫生和其他需要新型高压/高温材料和结构的行业合作。本中心的目标是：(1)新一代复合导体、绝缘体、地下电缆、输电塔等电力传输结构中现有高压/T能量传输/传输多功能材料的设计与评价；(2)为航空航天、石油/天然气、汽车和其他工业应用设计和开发新型先进高能量转移材料；(3)通过最先进的多尺度建模和材料性能评估，对在役高压/高压材料和结构进行失效预测和预防；(4)开发高压/T材料在实验室条件下的失效监测新技术和材料修复方法，并将其转化为在役检验和修复。拟议的I/UCRC将寻求为(1)本科生和研究生创造一个多样化和跨学科的教育、研究和商业环境，包括那些由中心研究项目资助的代表性不足的群体；（二）不同学科的教师，包括初入学术生涯的初级教师；(3)公用事业、航空航天和国家实验室开发各类高压/高压材料和结构的工程师和设计师；(4)监督全国高压输电线路的公用事业管理者。该中心旨在提高美国高压/T制造业在全球的声誉，特别是提高新型高压/T结构潜在用户的信心水平。该中心的目标是基础设施、制造业、能源运输和电网效率，以及其他高压/T和高能量传输结构的耐久性的长期效益。
