Author: Appointing Prof. Sung Yeul Park as RTDS Lab Director
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to announce Prof. Sung Yeul Park as Director of the Real-Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) Lab.
Dr. Sung Yeul Park is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2009. His research focuses on power electronics, battery management systems, renewable energy integration, grid resiliency, and cybersecurity. Dr. Park has led numerous federally and industry-funded projects, including work with the Department of Energy, Office of Naval Research, and Eversource Energy Center. He is the recipient of several awards, such as the NSF CAREER Award, multiple IEEE Future Energy Challenge Education Awards, and the 2025 Charles H. Knapp Associate Professorship. Dr. Park has published extensively in top journals and conferences and holds multiple U.S. patents in power electronics and energy systems.
The RTDS, composed of three NovaCor chassis and IBM’s POWER8 processors, can conduct real-time dynamic simulations of large-scale power systems with thousands of nodes at very small time steps (1-150 μs), and emulate cyber-physical distribution systems (CPS) with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL).
Please join me in congratulating Sung Yeul and wishing him all the best in his leadership role as RTDS Lab Director!
Best regards,
Diego Cerrai
Interim Director of the UConn Eversource Energy Center

Author: Deadline Approaching -May 16th- : Apply Today to the UConn–Eversource Clean Energy & Sustainability Innovation Program!
Dear colleagues and students,
his is a friendly reminder that applications are still open for the Clean Energy and Sustainability Innovation Program – but the deadline is quickly approaching!
Selected teams will be supported by a UConn and Eversource mentor throughout the summer and have the opportunity to present their research at the annual UConn and Eversource Sustainable Clean Energy Summit. This year’s Summit is unique in that it will be held alongside the 2025 North American Power Symposium on October 27.
This unique opportunity supports students and early-career professionals in advancing innovative solutions at the intersection of clean energy, sustainability, and technology. Participants will gain hands-on experience, mentorship from industry leaders, and the chance to make a real-world impact.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this exciting initiative driving the future of clean energy and sustainability!
Apply today! Applications for CESIP are due May 16, 2025. To read about The Challenge and submit an application, please see the attached flyer or visit the CESIP website
