- Every day – multiple times a day – power grid operators make a complex calculation to solve a supply and demand problem. They must quickly decide how much energy their systems need to produce to accommodate the demand from their users at that moment
- Researchers at the ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß are exploring how widespread use of electric vehicles in the future may impact vulnerable communities.Ìý The work is funded by a new seed grant from the Resilient Infrastructure with
- On Feb. 13, a severe winter storm swept across Texas and nearby southern states, bringing sub-zero temperatures and snowfall as far south as the border with Mexico. The polar air that descended on Texas lasted many days, leading to a statewide crisis as energy grids failed to supply enough power, fuels froze and water pipes burst.
- Challenges faced by American Indian reservations are many: lack of educational opportunity, high dropout rates, low representation in fast-growing STEM fields and therefore career opportunity, and dilapidated and unsafe housing options among them.
- Students, faculty and alumni of architectural engineering were among the presenters at the Council for Optical Radiation Measurements’ (CORM) 2015 Technical Conference this spring at the ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß.ÌýMore than 40 attendees
