Director's Message
Our Center is here to help your business succeed. We leverage the combined strength
of Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory to assist you in your
product development, securing your next round of funding through private or government
sources, and developing your workforce.
As renewable energy sources continue to penetrate the traditional grid, new sets of
technological challenges continue to emerge.
These challenges include economical storage of large amounts of energy, managing variable
electric loads and cybersecurity of the grid. Our area of operation, on Eastern Long
Island, is the ideal testbed for new energy technologies, as our large population
density, high land cost and large swings of seasonal power consumption drive the demand
for out-of-box energy solutions.
