ALSET Lab Opens at RPI
The ALSET Lab - A Laboratory for the Digital Power Grid of the Future - opened at RPI on August of 2018. It is located on the 6th floor of the Johnson Engineering Center. Dr. Luigi Vanfretti is the lead on this project and came on board a year ago as a CURENT faculty member. The lab uses both software and hardware platforms to simulate renewable energy flow to a "smart" grid system and looks at different ways to integrate renewable energy and to make the grid smarter at the same time.
