The Summer REU on Resilient Carbon-Free U.S. Electric Power Systems at Clarkson University will provide research opportunities focused on a sustainable and resilient U.S. electricity power grid by 2035. Each year, a cohort of 10 undergraduate students, with an emphasis on attracting participants from research limited institutes and underrepresented groups, will be recruited to participate in the summer research. These REU students will be mentored by Clarkson faculty and conduct research into data analytics, machine learning, advanced control, and power system analysis for improved grid resiliency and grid integration of renewable energies. Professional development activities will include invited seminars and field trips hosted by the industry partners, e.g., National Grid, New York Power Authority, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory, to broaden students’ knowledge of energy infrastructures. The outcome of the program will be the next generation of engineers and scientists with interdisciplinary knowledge to address the pressing challenges faced by this country’s electric power grid for a sustainable and resilient energy system of the future. Clarkson University will host a new 3-year REU site featuring a ten-week immersive summer research program for ten undergraduate students annually. The REU has a goal of attracting at least 50% of the students will be from two- or four-year colleges with limited research resources and at least 50% from underrepresented groups including unpresented minorities, women, veteran or first-generation students. The program’s distinguishing elements include: (1) research projects addressing the challenges faced by the power industry to achieve the nationwide goal of resilient carbon-free U.S. electric power systems by 2035; (2) professional development activities such as training of ethics in research, communication skills, and preparing a strong application to graduate school to foster students’ educational & career development; and (3) bootcamp on grid resiliency and sustainability, field trips and invited talks to stimulate and sustain students’ interest in graduate studies in the electric power sector. These research activities will focus on resiliency and carbon-free grids of the future including grid assets hardening with 5G networks, renewable integration, data analytics for outage management, converter control for solar and offshore wind, and cyber-resilient control of distributed energy resources. Following the summer experience, mentors will support their students to submit appropriate research results for publication in peer-reviewed IEEE conferences/journals.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

克拉克森大学的弹性无碳美国电力系统夏季REU将提供研究机会，重点关注到2035年可持续和弹性的美国电网。每年，将招募10名本科生参加夏季研究，重点是吸引来自研究有限机构和代表性不足群体的参与者。这些REU学生将由克拉克森教师指导，并进行数据分析，机器学习，先进控制和电力系统分析的研究，以提高电网弹性和可再生能源的电网整合。专业发展活动将包括由行业合作伙伴举办的特邀研讨会和实地考察，例如，国家电网、纽约电力局和国家可再生能源实验室，以拓宽学生对能源基础设施的知识。该计划的成果将是具有跨学科知识的下一代工程师和科学家，以解决该国电网面临的紧迫挑战，以实现未来的可持续和弹性能源系统。克拉克森大学将举办一个新的为期3年的REU网站，每年为10名本科生提供为期10周的沉浸式夏季研究计划。REU的目标是吸引至少50%的学生来自研究资源有限的两年制或四年制大学，至少50%来自代表性不足的群体，包括未被介绍的少数民族，女性，退伍军人或第一代学生。该计划的特色包括：（1）解决电力行业面临的挑战的研究项目，以实现到2035年弹性无碳美国电力系统的全国目标;（2）专业发展活动，如研究道德，沟通技巧的培训，并准备一个强大的应用程序到研究生院，以促进学生的教育&事业发展;及（3）举办电网弹性及可持续发展训练营、实地考察及应邀讲座，以激发及维持学生对电力行业研究生课程的兴趣。这些研究活动将侧重于未来的弹性和无碳电网，包括电网资产与5G网络的强化，可再生能源整合，停电管理的数据分析，太阳能和海上风电的转换器控制，以及分布式能源的网络弹性控制。在暑期体验之后，导师将支持他们的学生提交适当的研究成果，以便在同行评审的IEEE会议/期刊上发表。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
