About Us

GRAPES has approximately 20 members representing utility companies, system and logistics integrators, equipment manufacturers, and component suppliers. The vertically integrated membership represents the infrastructure and technologies necessary for the definition, design, assembly, evaluation, deployment, and effective utilization of grid-connected power electronics.

This approach is one of GRAPES’ strengths. Each member company has representatives that sit on the GRAPES Industrial Advisory Board (IAB), which meets twice per year to vote on project funding for the upcoming year. IAB members also work with GRAPES faculty and students to determine the strategic direction of the center’s work and to provide students with opportunities to intern at member companies.  If you would like to know more about our partners see their links below.
