Renewable Energy and Advanced Power Electronics Research Lab
Smart Grid Center
Electric energy is a key to every economy and for societal prosperity across the globe. The Smart Grid Center focuses on developing intelligent technologies for efficient operation of power grids and that enable computer-based remote control. The smart grid has been called “electricity with a brain,” the “energy Internet,” and the “Electronet.” Basically, it integrates electricity and information and communication infrastructures to produce electricity more efficiently and reliably, as well as cleanly and safely for the environment.
