Microgrid will let these Menifee homes keep lights on during outages
UC Irvine has been quietly turning its entire campus into a microgrid for the past decade, using gas- and steam-powered turbines to provide 19 megawatts of power. “What sets a microgrid aside is (power) generation,” said Scott Samuelsen, a UC Irvine engineering professor and Menifee project researcher. “It can operate on its own in case of a grid outage.” [Subscription required, campus-wide access provided by UCI Libraries.

Materials and Manufacturing
The development of advanced materials is critical to solving national problems in clean energy, human welfare and national security, and a strong manufacturing research and development effort is necessary for the U.S. to compete in a global economy. The Samueli School of Engineering is well poised as a technology leader in both areas. Researchers are recognized as pioneers in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology, and have made groundbreaking developments in the design and construction of new materials.
