The man-made gas\u2014an excellent insulator used primarily by electric utilities to manage electricity\u2019s flow in high-voltage circuit breakers\u2014is extremely bad for the environment, Park says. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, it is 22,800 times worse for the climate than carbon dioxide. It enters the atmosphere through equipment leaks and remains for 3,200 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Park is working with Georgia Tech researchers, who lead the nearly $4 million project from the Department of Energy\u2019s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to develop and test a prototype of a three-phase SF6-free AC high-voltage circuit breaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team will test the prototypes throughout the project. In late summer or fall, Park will initially test a reduced-scale prototype at 51ÁÔÆæ; in the final year of the project, a full-scale prototype will be tested at KEMA Labs, in Chalfont, PA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project includes a plan to transfer the technology to market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chanyeop Park, assistant professor, electrical engineering, has brought to 51ÁÔÆæ a $1 million research project from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a clean alternative to the world\u2019s most potent greenhouse gas\u2014SF6.
