  EESG Description
 
  
The Electric Energy Systems Group (EESG) is a group of faculty, researchers, and graduate students actively pursuing creation of curriculum, research programs, a software laboratory, and an outreach program for modern electric energy systems. The curriculum development (see http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~nsf-education) highlights universal concepts underlying future energy systems by building directly on general courses in applied physics, signal processing, computing, and control. The objective is to prepare engineers as a candidate workforce in the industries which are developing electric energy distributions to homes, aircrafts, cars, ships, spacecrafts, etc. The research programs uniquely build on the university’s strength in information processing, (see http://www.icti.cmu.edu, http://www.ices.cmu.edu/censcir, and http://www.cylab.cmu.edu) and in technically focused policy research (see http://wpweb2.tepper.cmu.edu/ceic, http://www.epp.cmu.edu). We view the future electric energy systems as physical systems enabled by sensing, computing, communications, and control technologies that shape their performance according to well understood and sustainable goals. EESG is actively pursuing close collaboration with technology developers as well as technology users. An annual conference is held (see http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~electricityconference) as part of the EESG outreach.
