WSU’s power program consists of twelve faculty members in EECS and two staff who specialize in teaching and research in electric power engineering. The group includes a member of the National Academy of Engineering and four fellows of IEEE.

This core group is complemented by over 20 affiliated faculty members from other departments across the university, together forming the multidisciplinary research center, Energy Systems Innovation Center (ESIC) (https://esic.wsu.edu/). ESIC has a long tradition of close collaboration with the regional power industry and is well-supported by two annual membership programs. The power program’s annual research expenditure is about $3M, with approximately 30 graduate students and multiple postdocs and visiting researchers.

The WSU power faculty collaborates closely with the power industry, research institutions worldwide, and various government organizations.

Another strength of the WSU power program is the Advanced Grid Institute (AGI), which is a joint institute between WSU and the PNNL dedicated to modernizing the grid (https://natlab.wsu.edu/grid/). AGI is envisioned to be the leader in modeling and simulation of the power grid to enable advanced controls and operations for the resilient, sustainable power system of the future. WSU is also a member of the Power System Engineering Research Center (PSERC), which is a consortium of 12 leading universities and 27 industry partners.
