IEEE Brew with the Crew - April 2019 - “Keeping the lights on – Team Glass Paper’s Energy I-Corps Experience"
Brew with the Crew Informal Seminar Series - Sponsored by Eastern Idaho IEEE, INL ICIS, Idaho ISA
The Instrumentation, Control and Intelligent Systems (ICIS) distinctive signature, in collaboration with the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Society of Automation (ISA), would like to invite anyone interested to "Brew with the Crew," an after-work event that will take place every third Thursday of the month at Stockman’s Restaurant in Idaho Falls (1175 Pier View Drive – Snake River Landing). The purpose of the meetings is to allow opportunity for instrumentation, control and intelligent systems researchers and practitioners to interact with others in their community, both inside and outside of INL. In this informal forum, people are not required to provide a documented presentation, but instead to share the nature of their research and interests and to possibly include some interesting stories along the way.

Keeping the lights on – Team Glass Paper’s Energy I-Corps Experience
Team “Glass Paper” participated in the DOE I-Corps program, class of 2018. The primary initiative of I-corps was to gain market feedback and tractability of technology developed at DOE labs from within the marketspace by talking to actual customers and professionals in the given field. The technology under investigation by team glass paper aims to provide higher temperature tolerant transformer insulation to harden equipment against an electromagnetic pulse or a natural occurring phenomenon called geomagnetic disturbance. This performance is delivered by applying a process called electospinning to manufacture the high temperature tolerant insulation materials with the intent to replace existing transformer winding insulation. This presentation will discuss both the technology of elect spun glass fibers as well as the takeaways, successes, and failures of the team from the I-corps program.
