项目摘要

This International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) award provides eighteen U.S. undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in an eight week research program on power electronic systems at Aalborg University (AAU) in Denmark. Principal investigators at Georgia Southern University (GSU) and Mississippi State University will recruit and provide initial training and preparation for cohorts of six U.S. undergraduates each year for three years. The PIs have had previous and ongoing collaborations on advanced controls of power electronic converters and interacted with the Center of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE) in AAU Energy (formerly known as the Department of Energy Technology). Some European countries are currently leading the research on the practical use of renewables in smart grids. AAU’s power program is one of the largest and youngest in Europe, consistently ranked No. 1 across the continent. AAU Energy and CORPE are ranked among the best for Research Impact Measures. It is an ideal partner for the proposed project—offering U.S. students a unique international research experience in all areas of power electronic systems. This research benefits society and the environment by 1) increasing the penetration of renewables, 2) increasing career interest in the field of power electronic systems for modern power grids, and 3) improving the quality and quantity of the U.S. power engineering workforce. Theories confirmed by project research may be tailored and broadly developed for other systems in the power and energy industry. GSU and MSU are ready, willing, and singularly able to recruit underrepresented minorities, including women, African Americans, Native Americans, and Latin American, to participate in STEM research and teaching. Moreover, the women leading the power/energy system research at CORPE are excellent role models in an area where women remain underrepresented. Students will be engaged in multidisciplinary topics—advanced controls and reliability analysis techniques of power electronic systems in modern power grids with the integration of renewables—trained to conduct innovative STEM projects with broad impacts on the energy sector’s reliability, resilience, and efficiency. They will be exposed to cutting-edge laboratories, unique reliability analysis tools, and international training to prepare them for national and international careers. This program will facilitate a unique knowledge/experience transfer mechanism, help students build international ties and confidence, and pave the way for future NSF and Danish National Research Foundation collaborations.Looking to the power system workforce of the future, our students need to understand and analyze different power systems as they may be involved in various projects worldwide while working at national or international companies with technical teams in the U.S. Also, power systems are rapidly and increasingly globalizing and modernizing in response to global policies driven by climate change. In the IRES work, students will conduct cohort-based research projects associated with ac/dc power electronic converters [voltage-source converters (VSCs)] in a possible globe-spanning supergrid (GS2G)—an essential component of the energy sector to integrate renewables to respond to urgent environmental concerns caused by global warming at an alarming rate and international agreements. Under the umbrella of smart grids, they assess and improve the reliability of VSCs with innovative controls in GS2G. The proposed research will advance fundamental knowledge related to 1) enhancing the stability and performance of VSCs in GS2G, 2) integrating renewables into power and energy systems via GS2G’s ac/dc grids, 3) achieving more reliable energy exchange and secure power transfer through VSCs, and 4) employing state-of-the-art technologies to test VSC performance and reliability. In this collaboration, students will rigorously investigate technical aspects of VSCs with advanced controls and reliability analysis techniques for GS2G’s VSCs. This project is funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE), and the non-Lead portion is co-funded by the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.

这项针对学生的国际研究经验（IRES）奖为十八位美国本科生提供了参加丹麦奥尔堡大学（AAU）的为期八周的电力电子系统研究计划。佐治亚州南部大学（GSU）和密西西比州立大学的首席研究人员将招募并为每年三年的美国六名本科生提供初步培训和准备。 PI以前曾在电力电子转换器的高级控制方面进行过持续的合作，并与AAU Energy（以前称为能源技术部）的可靠电力电子（Corpe）中心进行了互动。目前，一些欧洲国家正在领导有关在智能网格中可再生能源的实际使用的研究。 AAU的权力计划是欧洲最大，最年轻的计划之一，在整个大陆上始终排名第一。 AAU Energy and Corpe是研究影响措施的最佳选择。它是拟议项目的理想合作伙伴，为美国学生提供了各个电力电子系统领域的独特国际研究经验。这项研究使社会和环境受益于1）增加可再生能源的渗透，2）增加对现代电力电网电力电子系统领域的职业兴趣，以及3）提高美国动力工程劳动力的质量和数量。项目研究证实的理论可以针对电力和能源行业的其他系统进行量身定制和广泛开发。 GSU和MSU已经准备好，愿意并且可以单一的能力招募代表性不足的少数群体，包括妇女，非洲裔美国人，美洲原住民和拉丁美洲人参加STEM研究和教学。此外，在妇女代表人数不足的领域，领导着公司的权力/能源系统研究的妇女是极好的榜样。学生将参与多学科主题 - 先进的控制和可靠电网中电力系统的可靠性分析技术与可再生能源的整合 - 进行了创新的STEM项目，对能源部门的可靠性，弹性，弹性和效率产生了广泛影响。他们将接触到最先进的实验室，独特的可靠性分析工具和国际培训，以为国家和国际职业做准备。该计划将支持独特的知识/经验转移机制，帮助学生建立国际联系和信心，为未来的NSF和丹麦国家研究基金会的合作铺平道路，欣赏未来的电力系统劳动力，我们的学生需要理解和分析不同的电力系统，因为它们可能涉及全球范围内的各种项目，同时在全球范围内与全球范围内的全球范围内的公司合作，并且在全球范围内都在全球范围内，并且在全球范围内构成了越来越多的竞争力，并且在全球范围内都在全球范围内逐渐介入，并且可以使全球范围内的工具逐渐发展，并且可以使全球范围内的工具逐渐发展，并且能够越来越多地在全球范围内构成全球范围内的公司，并涉及到全球范围内的范围，并将其构成。改变。在IRES的工作中，学生将在可能的全球范围内超级玻璃（GS2G）中进行与AC/DC电力电子转换器[电压源转换器（VSC）]相关的研究项目，该能源领域的重要组成部分是将可再生能源集成以应对全球温暖和国际同意的紧急环境问题的响应。在智能网格的保护下，他们通过GS2G中的创新控制来评估和提高VSC的可靠性。拟议的研究将促进与1）通过GS2G的AC/DC网格将可再生能源整合到电力和能量系统中的VSC的稳定性和性能相关的基本知识，3）3）实现更可靠的能源交换和通过VSC实现更可靠的能量交换，并通过VSC进行vscs和4）使用正常的技术来测试VSC的性能和可靠性。在这项合作中，学生将严格调查VSC的技术方面，并具有高级控制和可靠性分析技术的GS2G VSC。该项目由国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）资助，非潜在部分由启发竞争研究的既定计划（EPSCOR）共同资助。该项目由国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）（OISE）提供资金，而非潜在的部分是由既定的竞争者宣传（EPSCSCOREDENS）共同提供的（EPSCOREDENS）。通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持。
