University of St. Thomas is a historic private research university in the Twin Cities region of Minnesota which dates to the late 19th century.
In modern times, the university has become known nationwide for its energy research division focused around microgrids. The director of St. Thomas’ Center for Microgrid Research, Mahmoud Kabalan, is leading a current expansion of the campus microgrid work including new construction on a research center led by Ryan Companies and including multiple generator sets delivered by Cummins Inc.
Kabalan also has participated in national collaborations around the microgrid sector, including terms spent as an advisory board member for the Microgrid Knowledge Conference. He was quoted recently in an article of StateTech Magazine focused on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), on-site power and distributed energy solutions.
