“Imagine a future where you could share electricity generated through your rooftop solar panels with your neighbor across the street. The power you and your neighbors generate would keep the lights on during arctic storms that knock out power because of overwhelming demand of the electric grid.  

That’s the type of scenario that CU Denver Electrical Engineering Professor Jae-Do Park, PhD, and his former student Md Habib Ullah, PhD, researched and wrote about in “Peer to Peer Trading in Transactive Markets Considering Physical Network Constraints,” a paper that outlines how this would be possible and how it could potentially make our aging electric grid more resilient.  

The research, which was partially funded by a National Science Foundation Career Grant that Park received in 2016, was published in The IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid. The journal, which is among the most respected in the power and energy field, ranked the paper among its top five papers from 2021 to 2023….”
