NYPA, SUNY to launch largest energy research lab of its kind in the world
The New York Power Authority (NYPA) and SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) have signed an agreement to create a world-class facility, the largest of its kind in the world, devoted to energy technology innovation and the rapid deployment of smart grid technology to modernize New York’s electric grid. Known as the Advanced Grid Innovation Laboratory for Energy (AGILe), the lab will simulate, develop, test and deploy a more integrated grid.
SUNY Poly was formed from the merger of the SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering and SUNY Institute of Technology, and is considered the world’s most advanced, university-driven research system with more than $20 billion in high-tech investments and over 300 corporate partners.
