The Summer REU on Resilient Carbon-Free U.S. Electric Power Systems at Clarkson University will provide research opportunities focused on a sustainable and resilient U.S. electricity power grid by 2035. Each year, a cohort of 10 undergraduate students, with an emphasis on attracting participants from research limited institutes and underrepresented groups, will be recruited to participate in the summer research. These REU students will be mentored by Clarkson faculty and conduct research into data analytics, machine learning, advanced control, and power system analysis for improved grid resiliency and grid integration of renewable energies. Professional development activities will include invited seminars and field trips hosted by the industry partners, e.g., National Grid, New York Power Authority, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory, to broaden students’ knowledge of energy infrastructures. The outcome of the program will be the next generation of engineers and scientists with interdisciplinary knowledge to address the pressing challenges faced by this country’s electric power grid for a sustainable and resilient energy system of the future. Clarkson University will host a new 3-year REU site featuring a ten-week immersive summer research program for ten undergraduate students annually. The REU has a goal of attracting at least 50% of the students will be from two- or four-year colleges with limited research resources and at least 50% from underrepresented groups including unpresented minorities, women, veteran or first-generation students. The program’s distinguishing elements include: (1) research projects addressing the challenges faced by the power industry to achieve the nationwide goal of resilient carbon-free U.S. electric power systems by 2035; (2) professional development activities such as training of ethics in research, communication skills, and preparing a strong application to graduate school to foster students’ educational & career development; and (3) bootcamp on grid resiliency and sustainability, field trips and invited talks to stimulate and sustain students’ interest in graduate studies in the electric power sector. These research activities will focus on resiliency and carbon-free grids of the future including grid assets hardening with 5G networks, renewable integration, data analytics for outage management, converter control for solar and offshore wind, and cyber-resilient control of distributed energy resources. Following the summer experience, mentors will support their students to submit appropriate research results for publication in peer-reviewed IEEE conferences/journals.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.

克拉克森大学（Clarkson University）的夏季REU在2035年到2035年，克拉克森大学（Clarkson University）的无碳美国电力系统将提供针对可持续和韧性的美国电力电网的研究机会。每年，每年有10名本科生组成的同伙，重点是吸引来自研究有限的机构的参与者，并将在夏季研究夏季研究。这些REU学生将受到克拉克森教师的指导，并对数据分析，机器学习，高级控制和电力系统分析进行研究，以提高网格弹性和可再生能源的电网整合。专业发展活动将包括由行业合作伙伴主持的邀请下水道和实地考察，例如国家电网，纽约电力局和国家可再生能源实验室，以扩大学生对能源基础设施的了解。该计划的结果将是具有跨学科知识的下一代工程师和科学家，以应对该国的电力电网面临的紧迫挑战，以实现未来的可持续和抵抗力的能源系统。克拉克森大学（Clarkson University）将举办一个新的3年REU网站，该网站每年为十个本科生进行十周沉浸式夏季研究计划。 REU的目标是吸引至少50％的学生来自两年或四年制的研究资源有限的大学，并且至少来自代表性不足的群体，包括无代表性的少数民族，妇女，资深人士或第一代学生。该计划的区别要素包括：（1）研究项目应对电力行业面临的挑战，以实现到2035年到2035年的全国性无碳电力系统的全国目标； （2）专业发展活动，例如在研究，沟通技巧方面的道德培训以及为研究生院促进学生的教育和职业发展的强大应用； （3）关于电网弹性和可持续性的训练营，实地考察和邀请的谈判，以刺激和维持学生对电力部门研究生学习的兴趣。这些研究活动将集中在未来的弹性和无碳网格上，包括使用5G网络的网格资产硬化，可再生能源集成，用于中断管理的数据分析，太阳能和离岸风的转换器控制以及分布式能源的网络弹性控制。遵循夏季的经验，导师将支持他们的学生在同行评审的IEEE会议/期刊上提交适当的研究结果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子的评估来获得的支持，并被认为是珍贵的支持，并具有更广泛的影响。
