MSU partners with Entergy to improve electrical grid, boost reliability

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State University researchers and Entergy engineers are working together to improve the reliability of electrical systems that power the U.S. economy.

Through its partnership with Entergy’s planning department, MSU’s Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems team is working to develop a load-serving capability tool and a relay settings automation tool, among other projects.

“Entergy is our longtime partner in building practical new software tools to improve performance and reduce the cost of engineering a more reliable power grid,” said CAVS Associate Director Mike Mazzola. “Because our research with Entergy has immediate application, we feel that consumers may realize improvements from the work, often without them even knowing it, much faster than most university research.”
