Currently, my group is involved in offshore wind energy workforce development and education programs, community engagement, economic development and/or research activities such as:

·        Two forthcoming graduate certificates, one on wind operation and maintenance, and the other on wind economics and management

·        Master program on power and energy systems (wind power concentration)

·        Undergraduate electrical engineering program (power track)

·        Biannual two-day offshore wind bootcamp training

·        Annual New Jersey Offshore Wind Technology Conference and Exhibition

·        NJEDA Offshore Wind Initiative Award: “NJIT Offshore Wind Research and Training Laboratory (OWRTL): Bootcamp, Conference, and Research Facility”

·        National Science Foundation ASCENT: From sensors to multiscale digital twin to autonomous operation of resilient electric power grids

Additionally, New Jersey Institute of Technology has the following physical assets (ie specialized equipment, specialized facilities and labs, training facilities, meeting/convening space etc) that can be a resource for the proposed OSW activities:  

·        OPAL-RT Microgrid PHIL Test Bench

·        OPAL-RT High-End Performance Real-Time Simulator

·        Modeling and Data Analytics Server

·        Wind Turbine Training System

·        Reconfigurable microgrid testbed composed of NHR9410 Regenerative Grid Simulator, NHR9430 AC Regenerative Load, NHR4760 DC Electronic Loads, ITECH Bidirectional DC Power Supply, Fronius Symo Advanced 3-Phase inverter, Keithley high-precision sourcemeter, digital oscilloscope, digital multimeters, digital function generator, digital DC power supply, and high-power resistive load bank.

·        Lucas-Nuelle: ESG1 Smart Grid Trainer, EUC Energy Management, EPH Professional Photovoltaics Trainer, EUG1 Manually Operated Synchronous Circuits.

·        Amatrol Photovoltaic Installation Learning 950-SPF1, Amatrol Photovoltaic Troubleshooting Learning System 950-SPT1

·        Software: PSSE (Power System Simulator for Engineering), PSCAD/EMTDC (Power Systems Computer Aided Design), PowerWord (Interactive Power System Analysis and Visualization)

·        Event meeting facilities: Ballroom in the Campus Center that can accommodate up to 600 people and a variety of meeting rooms with various sizes
