Examining the Impact of Renewable Energy on the Electric Power Grid
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)With a $1.23 million grant, researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will be creating a distributed power "test-bed" to study how the electricity distribution grid might be affected by the widespread adoption of clean, renewable energy sources. The two-year project is designed to help understand the potential effects of meeting New York state's key alternative energy goal.
