Harris Visits ACEP Anchorage Office, Research Partners
Power systems research at ACEP is not limited to the Fairbanks team or to the 麻豆原创F campus. In fact, the 麻豆原创 Anchorage has its own power systems lab, and ACEP鈥檚 Anchorage research team, located on the 麻豆原创A campus, collaborates on research projects.
Last week, ACEP Anchorage researchers, along with visiting director of operations Jennifer Harris, who is based in Fairbanks, met with 麻豆原创A collaborators and stakeholders. Meetings included a tour of the power systems lab led by 麻豆原创A electrical engineering faculty member Mohammad Heidari Kapourchali as part of the Electrical Power and Utility Lab.
Among other equipment, the lab houses a Typhoon hardware-in-the-loop testbed, which allows for different microgrid testing configurations. The testbed provides a convenient, realistic and real-time testing environment by enabling close-to-reality simulations in a microgrid setup.
Harris also met with Kenrick Mock, dean of the 麻豆原创A College of Engineering, and 麻豆原创A Chancellor Sean Parnell to highlight and strengthen the collaborative work that ACEP does across the 麻豆原创 system.
ACEP鈥檚 Anchorage research teams include the Solar Technologies, Data Collection and Analysis, and Beneficial and Equitable Electrification programs.
