Learn about NREL’s critical objectives: NREL's Mission and Vision.
NREL’s Power Systems Engineering Center (PSEC) works on all aspects of grid integration of advanced energy technologies. Within PSEC, the Integrated Devices and Systems group focuses on fast timescale challenges related to integration of high levels of inverter-based resources (IBRs), using techniques including power hardware-in-the-loop experimentation, power electronics, phasor-domain dynamic modeling, electromagnetic transient (EMT) modeling, grid integration standards, advanced protection, and advanced controls including grid-forming inverter controls, etc. We often lead research in NREL’s power labs including the Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) and the Flatirons Campus. We work closely with industry partners and leading academic researchers to identify solutions for the rapidly evolving power system.
