Understanding the Grid

The electric power grid has been rightly celebrated as the single most important engineering feat of the 20th century. The grid powers our homes, offices, hospitals, and schools; and, increasingly, it powers our favorite devices from smartphones to HDTVs. With those and other modern innovations and challenges, our grid will need to evolve. Grid modernization efforts will help the grid make full use of today’s advanced technologies and serve our needs in the 21st century. While the vast majority of upgrades are implemented by private sector energy companies that own and operate the grid, DOE has been investing in technologies that are revolutionizing the way we generate, store and transmit power.

New Transformer Testing Approach Reduces Reactor Down Time

The ATR-774 transformer yard has been in operation for 57 years. It's old, outdated, and reaching end of life. Plant health has decided to construct a new transformer yard, which will require testing. I've explored the standards library and compiled a list of tests that need to be performed on the transformer yard. This effort led to a significant speed-up in the testing process.
