All the talk about energy independence and green energy is wonderful. The reality is that the current energy grid is not designed to handle new sources of energy flowing in--it is designed to push energy from a single source out to customers. In the new energy world, the grid will need to be able to take in energy from multiple sources, deliver energy in new ways, and manage energy resources to meet the demands of a mobile, plug-in society. Dr. Alex Huang, Progress Energy Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NC State University, directs the Semiconductor Power Electronics Center (SPEC), a research group on Centennial Campus that wants to boost the capacity of existing power grids and integrate them with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
