Electric Machines
A fundamental aspect of successful development of prototype electric machines is experience developing physics based power system models and detailed analyses that are anchored to real world hardware experience.
Grid Solutions
CEM has over a decade of grid level power system modeling experience assembled over numerous projects for the U.S. Navy, Army, and civilian applications. Power system research and supporting technologies has grown due to concerns surrounding reliable power delivery.
Hydrogen Energy
As society continues to evaluate future alternative fuel vehicles, CEM’s experience in power systems have been applied to help guide ongoing discussions, and development much needed technologies.

RTDS Applications & Technology Conference
Pablo Paz - Research Associate UT-CEM
I had the opportunity to participate in RTDS ATC 2026 as an exhibitor, showcasing our work on real-time Dynamic State Estimation using RTDS. It was a great experience to learn about many other exciting applications of real-time simulation and connect with experts in the field.
Many thanks to RTDS Technologies Inc. for the invitation, and congratulations on the excellent organization and outstanding presentations throughout the event.
IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) T&D Conference
UT-CEM's Pablo Paz - Ph.D., SMIEEE participated in the 2026 IEEE Transmission and Distribution Conference held in Chicago, where he presented research on a novel method for the efficient detection of early-stage High Impedance Faults (HIFs) in overhead distribution systems.
The work features an advanced edge sensor developed at CEM, with wide-bandwidth, high-frequency, voltage and current signal detection capabilities, and performs analog signal processing to preserve critical information before digitization with a 16-bit ADC.
The Hydrogen ProtoHub Team Receives the 2026 Robert Zalosh Hydrogen Safety Excellence Award
The Hydrogen ProtoHub, a collaborative research facility co-operated by The University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Electromechanics (UT-CEM) and GTI Energy, has been awarded the 2026 Robert Zalosh Hydrogen Safety Excellence Award by the Center for Hydrogen Safety.
UT Hydrogen Vehicle Ride Share Program
With unique access to hydrogen fuel, The University of Texas at Austin's Center for Electromechanics (UT-CEM) is aiming to start a UT Hydrogen Vehicle Ride Share Program, benefitting UT students, faculty, and staff. Hydrogen-powered vehicles produce zero emissions, thus reducing carbon footprints, and are an alternative to battery electric vehicles with greater driving ranges.
