The POETS Center is a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center. At this center, engineering faculty from the U of A, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Howard University and Stanford University collaborate with members of industry to identify and carry out research projects to improve the power density of next generation electro-thermal systems that are the most relevant to industry needs. The POETS Center's ambitious and innovative research goal is to increase the power density of current mobile electrified systems by 10-100 times over current state-of-the-art systems. Results from this study could save highway vehicles between 100-300 million liters of fuel per year.
