The Vision of the FREEDM Systems Center is to develop an Energy Internet that allows energy generation, storage, and usage to be added and controlled seamlessly at the distribution level of the power system. Congrats to Amiya for taking First Place in the NC State ECE Graduate 3MT Competition. The workshop, held at Hunt Library, convened experts from utilities, data center developers, tech companies, government and academia to build a shared understanding of data center challenges and to identify. The FREEDM Systems Center (FREEDMSC) and Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) initiative is the product of a collaborative effort between Florida A&M University, Florida State University, North Carolina State University, Missouri University of Science and Technology. This paper presents an architecture for a future electric power distribution system that is suitable for plug-andplay of distributed renewable energy and distributed energy storage devices. Motivated by the success of the (information) Internet, the architecture described in this paper was proposed. The electric grid of tomorrow is under development today at the FREEDM Systems Center. The modern human depends on an ever-updating array of electronic devices: smartphones, smart televisions, smart thermostats, computers, even electric cars.
