项目摘要

This International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) award provides eighteen U.S. undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in an eight week research program on power electronic systems at Aalborg University (AAU) in Denmark. Principal investigators at Georgia Southern University (GSU) and Mississippi State University will recruit and provide initial training and preparation for cohorts of six U.S. undergraduates each year for three years. The PIs have had previous and ongoing collaborations on advanced controls of power electronic converters and interacted with the Center of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE) in AAU Energy (formerly known as the Department of Energy Technology). Some European countries are currently leading the research on the practical use of renewables in smart grids. AAU’s power program is one of the largest and youngest in Europe, consistently ranked No. 1 across the continent. AAU Energy and CORPE are ranked among the best for Research Impact Measures. It is an ideal partner for the proposed project—offering U.S. students a unique international research experience in all areas of power electronic systems. This research benefits society and the environment by 1) increasing the penetration of renewables, 2) increasing career interest in the field of power electronic systems for modern power grids, and 3) improving the quality and quantity of the U.S. power engineering workforce. Theories confirmed by project research may be tailored and broadly developed for other systems in the power and energy industry. GSU and MSU are ready, willing, and singularly able to recruit underrepresented minorities, including women, African Americans, Native Americans, and Latin American, to participate in STEM research and teaching. Moreover, the women leading the power/energy system research at CORPE are excellent role models in an area where women remain underrepresented. Students will be engaged in multidisciplinary topics—advanced controls and reliability analysis techniques of power electronic systems in modern power grids with the integration of renewables—trained to conduct innovative STEM projects with broad impacts on the energy sector’s reliability, resilience, and efficiency. They will be exposed to cutting-edge laboratories, unique reliability analysis tools, and international training to prepare them for national and international careers. This program will facilitate a unique knowledge/experience transfer mechanism, help students build international ties and confidence, and pave the way for future NSF and Danish National Research Foundation collaborations.Looking to the power system workforce of the future, our students need to understand and analyze different power systems as they may be involved in various projects worldwide while working at national or international companies with technical teams in the U.S. Also, power systems are rapidly and increasingly globalizing and modernizing in response to global policies driven by climate change. In the IRES work, students will conduct cohort-based research projects associated with ac/dc power electronic converters [voltage-source converters (VSCs)] in a possible globe-spanning supergrid (GS2G)—an essential component of the energy sector to integrate renewables to respond to urgent environmental concerns caused by global warming at an alarming rate and international agreements. Under the umbrella of smart grids, they assess and improve the reliability of VSCs with innovative controls in GS2G. The proposed research will advance fundamental knowledge related to 1) enhancing the stability and performance of VSCs in GS2G, 2) integrating renewables into power and energy systems via GS2G’s ac/dc grids, 3) achieving more reliable energy exchange and secure power transfer through VSCs, and 4) employing state-of-the-art technologies to test VSC performance and reliability. In this collaboration, students will rigorously investigate technical aspects of VSCs with advanced controls and reliability analysis techniques for GS2G’s VSCs. This project is funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE), and the non-Lead portion is co-funded by the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.

这个国际学生研究经验（IRES）奖为18名美国本科生提供了参加丹麦奥尔堡大学（AAU）为期八周的电力电子系统研究计划的机会。格鲁吉亚南方大学（GSU）和密西西比州立大学的主要研究人员将在三年内每年为六名美国本科生招募并提供初步培训和准备。PI以前和正在进行的电力电子转换器先进控制合作，并与AAU能源（以前称为能源技术部）的可靠电力电子中心（CORPE）进行互动。一些欧洲国家目前正在领导关于可再生能源在智能电网中的实际应用的研究。AAU的电力项目是欧洲最大和最年轻的项目之一，在整个欧洲大陆一直排名第一。AAU Energy和CORPE在研究影响力指标中名列前茅。它是拟议项目的理想合作伙伴，为美国学生提供电力电子系统所有领域的独特国际研究经验。这项研究有利于社会和环境，1）增加可再生能源的渗透，2）提高现代电网电力电子系统领域的职业兴趣，3）提高美国电力工程劳动力的质量和数量。通过项目研究确认的理论可以为电力和能源行业的其他系统量身定制和广泛开发。GSU和MSU准备好了，愿意，并且能够招募代表性不足的少数民族，包括妇女，非洲裔美国人，美洲原住民和拉丁美洲人，参与STEM研究和教学。此外，在CORPE领导电力/能源系统研究的女性是女性代表性仍然不足的领域的优秀榜样。学生将参与多学科主题-现代电网中电力电子系统的先进控制和可靠性分析技术，并与可再生能源集成-培训进行创新的STEM项目，对能源部门的可靠性，弹性和效率产生广泛影响。他们将接触到尖端的实验室，独特的可靠性分析工具和国际培训，为他们的国家和国际职业生涯做好准备。该计划将促进独特的知识/经验转移机制，帮助学生建立国际联系和信心，并为未来NSF和丹麦国家研究基金会的合作铺平道路。展望未来的电力系统劳动力，我们的学生需要了解和分析不同的电力系统，因为他们可能参与世界各地的各种项目，同时在国内或国际公司的技术团队工作。此外，电力系统正在迅速和日益全球化和现代化，以响应由气候变化驱动的全球政策。在IRES工作中，学生将在可能的全球超级电网（GS 2G）中进行与AC/DC电力电子转换器（电压源转换器（VSC））相关的基于队列的研究项目-这是能源部门的重要组成部分，以整合可再生能源，以应对全球变暖引起的紧急环境问题。在智能电网的保护伞下，他们通过GS 2G中的创新控制来评估和提高VSC的可靠性。拟议的研究将推进与以下相关的基础知识：1）提高GS 2G中VSC的稳定性和性能，2）通过GS 2G的AC/DC电网将可再生能源整合到电力和能源系统中，3）通过VSC实现更可靠的能量交换和安全的电力传输，以及4）采用最先进的技术来测试VSC的性能和可靠性。在这次合作中，学生将严格研究VSC的技术方面，为GS 2G的VSC提供先进的控制和可靠性分析技术。该项目由国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）资助，非领先部分由刺激竞争研究的既定计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。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。
