The multi-institution collaboration, including Penn State researchers, aims to develop modeling software that enables utility companies in rural Appalachia to test how incorporating more sustainable energy sources will impact their power grids.
With the goal of alleviating uncertainties around smart power grids, the Appalachian Regional Commission has provided a collaboration of universities — including Penn State researchers — across multiple states with $10 million to develop and deploy services that enable electric utility companies and energy tech startups to model and test different scenarios before implementation.
This expanded relationship is designed to empower Penn State students and enrich their academic experience while providing them with valuable opportunities to connect with industry professionals, peers and thought leaders.
