Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in collaboration with Exelon, the Galvin Electricity Initiative (GEI), S&C Electric and other key partners (the team) propose to develop, demonstrate, promote, and commercialize a and supporting technologies that will achieve "Perfect Power" at the main campus of IIT. This will be a self healing, learning and self-aware Smart Grid that identifies and isolates faults, reroutes power to accommodate changes and generation, and dispatches generation and reduces based on price signals, weather forecasts, and loss of grid power.

The Department of Energy's Office of Electricity (OE) recognizes that our nation's sustained economic prosperity, quality of life, and global competitiveness depends on an abundance of secure, reliable, and affordable energy resources. OE leads the Department of Energy's efforts to ensure a resilient, and flexible electricity system in the United States. Learn more about OE >>
