STONY BROOK, NY— The State University of New York at Stony Brook (Stony Brook University) is developing a new Digital Twin Studio that will advance power grid research and resilience. As electric vehicles, renewable energy systems and connected technologies place new demands on the grid, utilities will need better ways to anticipate problems before they affect homes, businesses and critical infrastructure. Researchers also need safe environments to test new technologies and resilience strategies.  The Digital Twin Studio looks to provide this testing ground and will allow researchers, students, utilities and public agencies to model electrical distribution systems and examine how the grid may respond to outages, extreme weather, cyberattacks, equipment failures and changing energy demands. Led by the   Center for Grid Innovation Development and Deployment  (GrIDD) at the   Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center  (AERTC), the initiative is moving...

CHICAGO – North Carolina State University won the 2026 Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) Big Beam competition, an annual nationwide challenge that encourages college students to demonstrate excellence in structural design, teamwork, and innovation using precast, prestressed concrete. The winning team included Logan Bonner and Conrad Kang. Their faculty advisor was Gregory Lucier and PCI producer-member Tindall Corporation provided project support. Teams of students and a faculty advisor design, build, and test a 20-foot, precast, prestressed concrete beam. Local PCI-certified precast concrete producers mentor and fabricate the beams for the teams. Entries are judged on a variety of criteria, including the beam’s load-resisting performance in tests that simulate real-life conditions structural building and infrastructure components must endure to ensure life safety, as well as the quality of their analysis and reports, and a video overview of their project. “Cong...
