DOE Seeks Graduate Students to Research Building to Grid Integration
Deadline for applying is Nov. 15, 2015, at 11:59 p.m. EST
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Building Technologies Office is seeking graduate students interested in exploring energy systems of buildings and how building assets or functions can integrate and transact with the energy grid supplying the building’s energy. The deadline for applying is Nov. 15, at 11:59 p.m. EST.
The Building-Grid Integration Research and Development Innovators Pilot Program provides a unique opportunity for graduate students currently pursuing a master’s degree or doctoral degree in a science or engineering discipline to explore building-grid integration research and development technology concepts. This research will focus on ways to improve the operating efficiency of buildings and increase penetration of distributed renewable energy generation, leading to more efficient buildings and cleaner generation of electricity.
