The Planning Grants for Engineering Research Centers competition was run as a pilot solicitation within the ERC program. Planning grants are not required as part of the full ERC competition, but intended to build capacity among teams to plan for convergent, center-scale engineering research. This award funds an effort to use team collective science and knowledge to build a strong collaborative culture. The planning team will engage investigators in strategic planning and potential test-beds exercises to enable revolutionary breakthroughs in electric energy storage and the power electronics integration. The project will plan a collective research effort to create innovative technological solutions and lay the foundation for achieving affordable, clean, resilient, and secure electric energy sources.To address the technical barriers and challenges to distributed, autonomous, and modern power systems that meet national energy needs, the investigators will explore: (1) Solid State Batteries, (2) Nanocomposite Capacitors, (3) Wide-Band Gap Power Devices, and (4) Integrated Power Electronic and Electric Storage for Grid-tied Application. The plan is to organize two workshops, each lasting two days, to bring together faculty members and researchers from the partner institutions, national labs, and industry for team formation to address the targeted research and societal goals.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

工程研究中心规划补助金竞赛是作为 ERC 计划内的试点征集活动进行的。 作为整个 ERC 竞赛的一部分，规划拨款不是必需的，而是旨在培养团队之间的能力，以规划融合的、中心规模的工程研究。 该奖项资助利用团队集体科学和知识建立强大的协作文化的努力。规划团队将让研究人员参与战略规划和潜在的试验台演习，以实现电能存储和电力电子集成方面的革命性突破。 该项目将计划集体研究工作，以创造创新的技术解决方案，为实现负担得起的、清洁的、有弹性的和安全的电力能源奠定基础。 解决满足国家要求的分布式、自主和现代电力系统的技术障碍和挑战能源需求，研究人员将探索：（1）固态电池，（2）纳米复合电容器，（3）宽带隙功率器件，以及（4）用于并网应用的集成电力电子和电力存储。 该计划将组织两次研讨会，每次持续两天，将来自合作机构、国家实验室和行业的教职员工和研究人员聚集在一起，组建团队，以实现有针对性的研究和社会目标。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并具有通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
