3 Depth Young people and power. Strong Core (undergraduates & graduates) Breadth Interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary exposure Context Needs: Visibility of what is currently possible Opportunity to visualize futuristic developments within context 3

4 I did NOT do that!!! Young people and power. Beyoncé Super Bowl 2013 Entergy, an electric and gas utility in New Orleans, says a relay device installed to protect Superdome equipment in the event of a cable failure ended up malfunctioning. CNET News February 8,

5 Famous Power Outages Context Super Bowl 2013 First hand experience of interaction of relays with the complex electrical systems they regulate. An estimated million television viewers saw the Baltimore Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31, making it the thirdmost-viewed program in television history. Both the 2010 and 2011 games hit the 111 million mark. Snowstorm in the Northeast Feb 9, 2013 The snowstorm, a product of two converging weather systems, knocked out power for more than 650,000 customers and prompted the U.S. Postal Service to suspend deliveries in seven states. CNN Feb 9, 2013 Problem visibility is high and the need for solutions is great. 5

6 Energy & Power Systems Education curriculum challenges Depth within identified discipline For job competitiveness Diverseness of subject expertise needed Sciences, Power Electronics, Power Systems, Cyber Security, more Societal aspects becoming more important Policy, environmental, economic, behavioral NSF is active in promoting E&P curriculum reform with academia. 6

7 Funding Opportunities Core programs Unsolicited: Two windows (Fall and Winter) Young Faculty Eager (Early Concept, Can be submitted anytime) Directed programs (Special CFP s) CAREER Young Faculty EFRI CPS increasing Electric Grid activity MRI increasing number of proposals in Power Electronics/Systems ERCs Power Systems ERCs BRIGE REU, RET Supplements Undergraduate support Workshops, Others. 7

9 SEES and the NSF Mission (Science, Engineering & Education for Sustainability) NSF s mission is to support the progress of science (education); to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense. NSF has the capability to address the full depth and breadth of research and education for sustainable development. energy environment Climate change biodiversity opportunity education economics Social behavior 9

10 Sustainable Energy Pathways 2012(2014) To develop efficient pathways towards sustainable energy, from starting points to ending points, via a systems approach in the priority areas of MPS, ENG, CISE, GEO, SBE + BIO, EPSCoR, MPS/OMA = $37M for 20 awards SEP Fundamental Considerations Scientific knowledge & technological innovation Environmental, societal and economic imperatives, * Education and workforce development, Topic Areas Sustainable Energy Harvesting, Conversion, and Storage Energy harvesting and conversion Energy storage solutions Critical elements and materials Nature inspired processes Reducing carbon intensity Energy Transmission, Distribution, Efficiency, and Use Transmission and distribution Energy efficiency and management Role of SBE present in all awards

12 In Summary Opportunities for Energy & Power Systems Research and Education are increasing Sustainability is crosscutting and increasing emphasis on E&P Systems Education is key component of all NSF activities 12

13 Wouldn t it be nice if 13

14 Young people have the energy AND the power! Let s talk about relay threshold settings and demand-response We ll wait on the 80% penetration talk. There is a pull from society. Educate the workforce AND the public. Electric Energy Systems for Sustainability 14
