In 2006, the Eastern and Northern regions were made part of the combined NEW grid. [2] As a result, the converter station is no longer required for its original purpose of asynchronously linking the Eastern and Northern grids, although it can still be used as an embedded power flow device to help control power flow within the AC system.
DiaGrid grid computing network centered at Purdue University. NESSI-GRID. OMII-Europe – An EU-funded project established to source key software components that can interoperate across several heterogeneous grid middleware platforms. OMII-UK Provide free open source software and support to enable a sustained future for the UK e-research community.
The first BOINC-based project was Predictor@home, launched on June 9, 2004. In 2009, AQUA@home deployed multi-threaded CPU applications for the first time, [17] followed by the first OpenCL application in 2010. As of 15 August 2022, there are 33 projects on the official list. [18] There are also, however, BOINC projects not included on the ...
A back-to-back station has no transmission line and joins two separate AC grids at a single point. Historical HVDC systems used the Thury system of motor-generators but these have all been made obsolete by later developments such as mercury-arc valves (now also obsolete), thyristors, and IGBT power transistors.
This is a comprehensive list of volunteer computing projects, which are a type of distributed computing where volunteers donate computing time to specific causes. The donated computing power comes from idle CPUs and GPUs in personal computers, video game consoles, [1] and Android devices.

The Tres Amigas SuperStation (lit. ' Three Friends SuperStation ') was a project proposed in 2009 to unite North America’s two major power grids (the Eastern Interconnection and the Western Interconnection) and one of its three minor grids (the Texas Interconnection), with the goals of enabling faster adoption of renewable energy and increasing the reliability of the U.S. grid.
