Shirazi Presented at DOE Office of Electricity Meeting
ACEP’s Mariko Shirazi traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to attend and present a poster at the.
This event is an annual programmatic review of projects funded by the DOE OE Energy Storage Program. Presentations on OE-funded projects were made by researchers from Sandia National Laboratories; Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; Oak Ridge National Laboratory; universities, including Ohio State University, City University of New York, Southern Methodist University, and University of Tennessee, Knoxville; small businesses; and utilities, including Cordova Electric Cooperative and Eugene Water and Electric Board. Many more universities, including the ÌÀÄ·ÊÓƵ, and other entities had poster presentations.
Shirazi presented plans for a new OE-funded project to explore power electronics for medium voltage direct current interties between remote communities in Alaska. This planned project will identify state-of-the-art technology and trends in MVDC converter topologies and overall MVDC network conversion architectures with an eye toward identifying the most promising solutions for lower power applications in Alaska.
