Faruque and Team Wins $40K in FSU Office of Research Development Accelerator competition

 

Congrats to ECE faculty member Omar Faruque and his team on winning at the 2022 FSU Office of Research Development Accelerator competition. Their project entitled, “Energy Resilience - Developing Shared Strategies for Improved Resiliency of the Future Grid” won a $40,000 Accelerator Award. 

Faruque described the project as, “Our team will model how the COT Utilities’ power grid interconnects with the FSU 15kV medium voltage distribution grid —essentially a grid within a grid, and the perfect laboratory to explore strategies before scaling them community-wide.”
