POWER ENGINEERING REDEFINED

Increased focus on alternative and renewable energy, development of new energy technologies, restructuring and deregulation of the utility industry -- all are creating a wealth of technical and educational challenges for the power engineer. Environmental issues and other recent events have expanded the focus to include public policy, system security and reliability, and economic and social concerns. Michigan Tech's Power & Energy Research Center (PERC) was created to address all those challenges -- and more.
