NSF High Voltage and Temperature(HVT) semi-annual meeting

UCONN successfully hosted NSF/HVT semi-annual meeting October 16-18, 2017. EIRC members give a project update presentation on the topic of HVDC/MVDC cabling-space charge dynamics, HVDC/MVDC ‐ Electronic Structure of Polyolefin, HVDC Grid Hardening against Geomagnetic Disturbance (GMD), Discharge Resistant Materials for Circuit Breaker and Photo‐acoustic Based Dissolved Gas Analysis.  Mattewos’s poster on “Critical comparative study on EPR and XLPE for medium voltage cable” got first place award and Jing’s poster on “Discharge resistant materials for circuit breaker” got third place award in the poster competition. Congratulations Mattewos and Jing!
