Activities

Programs,Events and Services

TC 12 was formed due to a strong interest in technologies underlying energy access and a continual need for power systems with more autonomous control that can be implemented in a highly decentralized manner as a result of the success of Empower a Billion Lives. Some topics of interest include:

  • Autonomous inverters for inverter-dominant grids
  • DC nano grids
  • Decentralized bottom-up grids
  • Energy access solutions
  • Grid as an ecosystem
  • Hyper-efficient appliances, including CHP
  • Real-time control of inverters to meet the physical, market, and cyber needs
  • Self-organizing grids and microgrids
  • Sensing, architecture, market, and business models for energy access
  • Ultra-automation in AC or DC microgrids
