One year ago today the grid nearly collapsed in Texas, leaving 10M+ people in the dark for days. Unlike other states we couldn't lean on neighbors for help. We should consider connecting ERCOT to other grids to make $$$, reduce CO2 & improve reliability. nytimes.com/2022/02/15/opi…

My UT Austin ORIE PhD student Rachel Moglen, UT-Center for Electromechanics, and I are thrilled to be collaborating with USC CREATE, Swanson School of Engineering, and others on this project sponsored by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (Defense Threat Reduction Agency).

Happy #PiDay, nerds! 🙃🤓

a bit late, but Bob Hebner and I wrote a bulletin article on how grid-edge resources can become #resiliency game changer during the ongoing #decarbonization of #electricity #infrastructure smartgrid.ieee.org/bulletins/octo… Texas ECE UT Energy Institute UT-Center for Electromechanics

We're excited to work with you as well! #H2 for the win! 🤘

In a new paper published in the Int'l Journal of Hydrogen Energy researchers studied wind farms to enhance profitability by making #hydrogen. Led by Mike Lewis UT-Center for Electromechanics the team aims to help industry/gov’t make investment decisions that benefit society bit.ly/3IQvrtP

I had fun at the UT Austin Center for Electromechanics UT-Center for Electromechanics 50th Anniversary event! My group's computational research with CEM focuses on optimal #infrastructure network restoration following disasters. Evidently #hydrogen fuel cell drones make for cooler live demos.

Happy 50th anniversary to UT-Center for Electromechanics! The research center focused on power and energy celebrated its semicentennial this week and showed off some of its most exciting work, including a hydrogen-powered drone and a sensor that can detect grid vulnerability. 📷: Roel Pena

Amazing invitation to Texas Engineering & the recently semicentennial UT-Center for Electromechanics! Multi-MW reconfigurable DC+AC #Microgrid, #hydrogen vehicle-2-grid, real time digital simulator & MANY more. What a treat! Thanks to CEM director Bob Hebner (also IEEE-USA EPC) & UT Austin! #energy

Recently, HyVelocity Hub applied for funding from U.S. Department of Energy's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs to scale clean hydrogen supply and demand along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Federal investments can boost the global clean #hydrogen market and decarbonize the economy. hyvelocityhub.us/support/hyvelo…

Building a hydrogen energy economy has been keeping us busy. UT-CEM is the home to a new hydrogen research and demonstration facility funded by the DOE's H2@Scale in Texas and Beyond project. Check out our latest study. #whatstartshere #engineeringyourworld #hydrogen #H2ScaleTX

As a participant in the @energy’s H2@Scale in TX and Beyond project, we are thrilled to share that its #hydrogen research facility has been officially launched. We are confident that this facility will pioneer the hydrogen landscape for clean, reliable #energysolutions #H2ScaleTX

Just launched: Our Texas #hydrogen research facility with @energy’s H2@Scale initiative is transforming renewable natural gas, wind, and solar into #cleanhydrogen. Learn more: gti.energy/groundbreaking… #EnergyFuture #CleanEnergy UT-Center for Electromechanics
