Dr. Payman Dehghanian (ECE) and his colleague Dr. Miguel Lejeune (GW Business School) have received a 2019-2020 Duke Energy Innovation Fund grant of $13,583 for their project, “Weathering the Storms: Maximum Wind Utilization and Harnessing the Power Grids’ Built-In Flexibility.” They will work with the leadership team at Sustainable GW to accomplish the project goals and the envisioned milestones. Dr. Dehghanian is the lead principal investigator (PI) on the project, and Dr. Miguel Lejeune is the co-PI. Student and faculty at the GW SmartGrid Laboratory strive to collaborate with researchers in various fields and from diverse backgrounds to enhance the ways in which they think, design, plan, operate, and control the smart electricity grid and the energy infrastructure for enhanced resilience against weather disasters and cyber-attacks.
