We had the best morning with Girl Scouts at Abbott Power Plant for the Girl Power event! 🏭🔌🔋
Huge shout out to grad students from @CEEatIllinois, @ECEILLINOIS, @ChemistryUIUC, and @ChBEIllinois for hosting hands-on demos.

@mechseILLINOIS, @sustainILLINOIS ... I'm sure I'm missing a bunch more groups that have been generous in their support. The team will break ground this summer. More to come! Special thanks to staff at @NREL for hosting a fantastic hybrid event.
C-U friends:
My son's Boy Scout troop is hosting a shredding event this Sunday in the E14 parking lot. Bring your docs and they'll help securely shred them. Free event; $10 donation suggested.
One of my students asked if a wind turbine would be a viable place to live in a zombie apocalypse and now I can't stop thinking about how to turn this into an exam question...
@kyrib@ElephantEating Also, I would think a boost PFC would still be the most common, which would probably be controlled with no phase shift. Or at least I can't think of a good reason from the power electronics standpoint to introduce one.
