Deliver

A leading research and teaching lab in the field of insulation, applied electrostatics, nanodielectrics, pulse power applications, and power electronics. Our extensive experimental and test facilities - available to industry - allow the design, prototyping, and testing of high-voltage components and advanced dielectric materials, while our research experts are recognized around the world.

Provides a state-of-the art facility for power systems studies geared toward the operation of restructured electricity markets. Our work includes modeling, simulation, analysis and optimization of power systems and smart grids; stability and security analysis and improvements of power systems in a deregulated environment; studies of energy systems with multiple energy carriers; and optimal power management and forecasting in competitive electricity markets.

At the Information Systems and Science for Energy (ISS4E) Laboratory, we're applying the concepts and techniques pioneered by the Internet to energy problems, from monitoring individual buildings to developing an efficient, decentralized "smart" grid that draws energy from millions of small-scale sources and uses communications technology to match supply and demand.
