Stony Brook University researchers, in collaboration with UMass Lowell, will be investigating ways to make energy generation, storage and system operation more efficient and reliable particularly in microgrid settings such as shore-based environments under a new program funded by the U.S. Navy Office of Naval Research.
The Navy grant, totaling $7.36 million and shared equally between the two institutions, will run through fall 2022.
Each institution will conduct nine multidisciplinary projects to achieve the research goals, complementing each other’s efforts in areas including grid control, security and infrastructure monitoring; energy storage, materials and grid management; and zero-carbon fuels.
Both will collaborate to develop new training approaches, an area in which the domain knowledge and experience of National Grid and the Long Island Power Authority will be valuable assets.

It feels strange to look back on 2020 and try to think of anything good to say about the year, the last 12 months being largely defined by a deadly pandemic and a presidential election that seemed to expose the fragility of US democracy. It’s hard to look past the distressing stuff the pandemic lockdowns, the agonizingly long vote counts, the unexpected national importance of Wayne County, Michigan’s election canvassing board and to remember the positive things that happened.
But throughout the cataclysms of 2020, the
Bulletin, its expert contributors, and its staff produced excellent work. Here are a few stories that are among the best we produced within the category we call disruptive technology.

It has taken a deadly virus to shine a light on Bostonâs poor school conditions
It wasnât until the last paragraph of the Dec. 17 editorial, âLet public health experts guide school reopenings,â that one sees mention of one of the most critical issues for the transmission of COVID-19 in our schools: ventilation.
Most Boston schools have no ventilation systems, and many of the 30 schools with HVAC systems need upgrades. Itâs common for teachers to work in overheated or freezing rooms, or in closets and basement rooms without windows.
