Three connected directions

01 /

Power System Dynamics & Stability

How does the grid respond to disturbances, and how can we assess and improve its stability?

02 /

Inverter-Based Resource Integration

How can renewable generation and battery storage connect to and support the grid?

03 /

Power System Operations & Economics

How should grid resources be scheduled, operated and valued under uncertainty?

Education & workforce training

The next generation
of power engineers.

NYPA-supported coursework, simulation labs, and internship opportunities connect learning with industry practice. Our IEEE seminar series brings NYPA, NYISO, NYSEG, and AVANGRID expertise into the classroom.

Learn by changing the system

How quickly must
a fault be cleared?

Change inertia, loading, and clearing time. See the rotor-angle response and find the stability boundary yourself.
