An approach to research and collaboration.
01 / Sources of power
Different sources.
A shared approach.
Our open-power perspective spans solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, fusion research, and fossil energy. The common thread is access to knowledge: understanding technologies, comparing their constraints, and making it easier to collaborate.
02 / Open-source power
Connect the tools.
Understand the system.
Our vision connects open technology with cities, transportation, manufacturing, and communities. Our research priorities bring that vision into software, shared interfaces, simulation, and education.
We explore how connected infrastructure and knowledge sharing can support more efficient use of power and broader participation in energy decisions. Research and education also consider energy access in remote and underserved communities.

Every system
has a context.
Generation is one part of the picture. Distribution, demand, storage, economics, and local needs all shape the questions we study.
