by Paul Alongi August 6, 2026 Engineers are crucial to the electric grid, but it worked so well for so long that it became a victim of its own success– many engineering students started to see it as boring and looked elsewhere for careers they perceived as more exciting. All that is starting to change, […]

by Paul Alongi August 5, 2026 The electric grid is not the kind of place you want to run risky experiments. If something goes wrong, the consequences could spread fast, with darkened homes, shuttered schools and internet outages, just to start. That’s why Clemson University’s grid emulator is so important. The Duke Energy eGRID gives utilities, manufacturers […]

by Paul Alongi August 4, 2026 It is hard to overstate the stakes in Clemson University’s work on one of the globe’s greatest engineering marvels, an invention so fundamental to 21st century life that most people notice it only when it fails– and then it’s impossible to ignore. The electric grid cools homes, charges phones, […]

by Paul Alongi August 3, 2026 By Hai Xiao and Anand Gramopadhye The electric grid is one of the great engineering achievements of modern life. Most days, it works so well that we barely notice it. We flip a switch, charge a phone, cool a home, power a factory or run a hospital, and we […]

by Scott Miller July 14, 2026 The National Science Foundation (NSF) today announced Clemson University as a key player in the effort to modernize the nation’s electric grid. Clemson was named a founding partner in the NSF Grid Modernization Engine in the Carolinas (Carolinas Grid Engine), one of the agency’s newest Regional Innovation Engines (NSF Engines). […]

The Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is proud to announce the recipients of the 2026 department-wide student awards, recognizing exceptional achievement in academics, research, leadership, and service across all levels of study. Undergraduate Awards Rhodes Award – Outstanding Students in Computer Engineering Awarded to the most outstanding junior and senior Computer Engineering students […]

byPaul Alongi, April 22, 2026 A heat-recovery system will be shipped later this year to the Clemson University Restoration Institute in North Charleston for testing and validation, researchers said. Clemson University researchers are working with partners to test and validate a system that is designed to capture waste heat from industrial processes and turn it […]

by Paul Alongi February 3, 2026 StorEn Technologies, Inc. has deployed two vanadium flow battery systems at Clemson University as part of a research collaboration focused on validating next-generation electric power systems and grid-scale energy storage. The containerized systems will be installed at Duke Energy’s e-GRID facility within the Clemson University Restoration Institute in North […]

by Paul Alongi January 12, 2026 Drones have proven useful in monitoring large swaths of land for wildfire, but the thermal-imaging equipment they often carry tends to be expensive, heavy and power hungry. That equipment just might eventually be able to stay on the ground sometimes, thanks to new research out of Clemson University. A […]
