New Patent issued to Prof Eckhard Groll and team for Residential DC Nanogrid System

Professor Eckhard Groll, currently a professor and head of mechanical engineering at Purdue University, has recently been issued a patent for the intellectual property of his team for a centralised residential direct current (DC) nanogrid system integrating alternating current (AC) infrastructure.

 

The team of researchers, which includes Jonathan Paul Ore, Philip Teague and Frank Teague III, developed a power distribution technology intended for use in residential nanogrid systems to minimise losses associated with AC/DC and DC/AC conversions. The centralised system DC power distribution system is capable of regulating DC power generation, distribution, and storage while also integrating with existing AC infrastructure.

 

Prof Eckhard Groll is also one of the vice-presidents of IIR’s Science and Technology Council (STC), serving as president of IIR section B - Thermodynamics, equipment and systems.

 

On behalf of the IIR, congratulations to Professor Eckhard Groll and his team!
