The Center for Carbon-free Power Integration



On 19 September 2008, the University of Delaware announced creation of this center. This was part of the announcement of the University of Delaware Energy Institute, which includes this Center along with others. This site is a preview, currently under construction.



What do we do?


The Center for Carbon-free Power Integration (CCPI) conducts research, publishes, and is a catalyst for knowledge-based partnerships--all related to three aspects of power: power production from utility-scale geophysical sources, such as wind and ocean currents, changes in transmission planning to accommodate carbon-free power sources, and storage needed to support large-scale carbon-free power systems.
