FREEDM
Inside ABB and NC State’s decadeslong partnership
ABB was the first corporate partner to move onto Centennial Campus. Now, 30 years later, the company is still working with NC State to improve the reliability and reduce the cost and environmental impact of electric power systems.
Major impact
The College has increased the number of women faculty members over the last decade and promoted them to leadership positions in departments and centers.
FREEDM researchers receive funding for work on grid resilience tools
Researchers in the FREEDM Systems Center led by NC State have received a $3.1-million research award from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) to advance solar energy’s role in strengthening the resilience of the U.S. electricity grid.

New electric car charger is more efficient, 10 times smaller than current tech
A new electric vehicle fast charger is at least 10 times smaller than existing systems and wastes 60 percent less power during the charging process, without sacrificing the charging time.
A bright idea
The NSF FREEDM Systems Center marks 10 years of innovation on how we use electricity.
NSF FREEDM Center marks 10 years with celebration
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) Systems Center led by NC State is celebrating 10 years of work changing how we use, produce and transmit energy.
Scheduling energy a key to the smart grid
A new technique for “scheduling” energy in electric grids moves away from centralized management by tapping into the distributed computing power of energy devices.
Success in a pivotal year
Year seven was an exciting one for the Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) Systems Center led by NC State.
The Internet of energy
NC State's Dr. Iqbal Husain is director of the FREEDM Systems Center, a collaboration of leaders in research, industry and engineering education working to envision and then create the energy network of the future.
