DESCRIPTION:With the growing demand of utilizing distributed energy resourc
 es and the need for dynamic and reconfigurable power grids with ever incre
 asing power densities\, the concept of direct current (DC) power systems i
 s gaining traction. Lower losses and higher power densities enabled by DC 
 power transmission and distribution has sparked the implementation of high
  voltage DC transmission systems as well as medium voltage distribution sy
 stems. A reliable and efficient DC circuit breaker is needed to realize re
 silient DC grids. The speaker is leading a research project\, sponsored by
  the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy\, to design\, build\, test
 \, and commercialize a DC circuit breaker within three years. This fast-pa
 ced\, high-risk project is built around a team of researchers from the Geo
 rgia Institute of Technology and Florida State University\, who brought to
 gether four key innovations that form the foundation of a new type of hybr
 id circuit breaker.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Lukas Graber\, \n\nRoom: ELH-114\
