Research & Education
Tom Acker: Tom Acker is a Senior Principal Engineer of Research at Salt River Project (SRP) based in Arizona, focusing on energy research and innovation. He has a background in engineering and has been involved in research related to power systems, renewable energy, and grid modernization.
Topics covered by this working group are biased towards the longer term and include the incorporation of a high share of renewable energy in the future energy supply, and the understanding and analysis of the interactions among energy systems (electric, fuel, thermal) and other infrastructures (transportation, water, communication and data systems). Specific related projects include the road-mapping activities associated with the Towards 100% workshop, and the Global Power System Transformation (G-PST) initiative. The educational needs for the present and future challenges are also covered, as is the development of a massive, open, online course (MOOC).
