Funding will support development of a Smart Wire System Controller and an energy router software to enable distributed agents to coordinate with the control center, improve power flow control, and take advantage of unused capacity within the existing transmission system. In addition, the power controller will enable grid operators to optimize transmission assets to fully integrate variable renewable energy sources.
