More Information
Bob Galvin, former CEO of Motorola and creator of the Galvin Electricity Initiative, along with ECE chair Mohammad Shahidehpour and representatives from ComEd, Endurant Energy, and S&C Electric, introduced the Perfect Power Project at IIT, a ground-breaking approach to electricity distribution and management. Perfect Power--the first such system to be built in the United States--will be a university-owned, campus-wide smart microgrid electricity distribution system that will virtually eliminate power outages by providing more reliable, efficient and secure electricity to IIT's classrooms and research facilities. Electrical and Computer Engineering Energy Initiatives
The Perfect Power System at IIT will be the first energy distribution system of its kind in the United States. IIT has partnered with the Galvin Electricity Initiative and the United States Department of Energy (DOE) to confront and model a solution to the nation’s energy crisis. This partnership, in collaboration with S&C Electric, Endurant Energy, and ComEd, has developed a Perfect Power System design, which is being built at IIT's Main Campus.
