Sarah Hambridge is a Ph.D. Candidate studying electric power systems and transactive pricing mechanisms to support increased distributed energy resources such as renewable energy on the grid. She has interned at Sandia National Laboratories in the Energy Storage Systems Program in Albuquerque, NM in 2014 under Dr. Stan Atcitty. She also interned for Siemens Industry in Energy Automation and Protection in Wendell, NC in 2013. 
Her research focuses on “Frequency Based Real-Time Pricing For Residential Prosumers” as part of a broader interest in dynamic and transactive pricing control within a future Distributed System Operator (DSO) construct and/or the Energy Internet. Her work has been funded through the FREEDM Systems Center at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC.
