The Grid-Connected Advanced Power Electronic Systems (GRAPES) IUCRC proposes renewal as a two-site I/UCRC, comprising personnel and facilities at the University of Arkansas (lead) and the University of South Carolina with a focus on developing the new knowledge, tools, hardware, software, and personnel that are required to pervasively insert power electronics into the 21st century power grid in ways that will strengthen and modernize the grid. GRAPES makes use of an already-developed facility for design, development, test, evaluation, and standardization of distribution-level grid-connected power electronic equipment. This enables validation of research findings, and accelerated insertion of new solid-state equipment into the power grid at both source and load ends. Power electronics in grid applications are essential to achieving efficient power systems of high reliability and resiliency. The I/UCRC in Phase II will train students and practicing engineers who will become qualified to develop and manage the next generation of power systems, thereby helping to mitigate the forecasted shortage of power engineers. GRAPES will establish new courses that will integrate research with education to make our students highly competitive in their ownership of unique skills and knowledge.

并网先进电力电子系统（GRAPES）IUCRC建议更新为两个站点I/UCRC，包括阿肯色州大学（牵头）和南卡罗来纳州大学的人员和设施，重点是开发新的知识，工具，硬件，软件，以及将电力电子技术普遍插入到21世纪世纪电网中所需的人员，电网GRAPES利用已经开发的设施来设计、开发、测试、评估和标准化配电级并网电力电子设备。这可以验证研究结果，并加速将新的固态设备插入电源和负载端的电网。电网应用中的电力电子器件对于实现高可靠性和弹性的高效电力系统至关重要。第二阶段的I/UCRC将培训学生和实践工程师，使他们有资格开发和管理下一代电力系统，从而帮助缓解电力工程师的预测短缺。GRAPES将建立新的课程，将研究与教育相结合，使我们的学生在他们拥有独特的技能和知识的高度竞争力。
