Power in and Energy out of ECE

• Power traditional programs in ECE
• Power Conversion Machines
• Power Electronics Devices and circuits, grid
  interface
• Transmission and Distribution 3 Phase and high
  voltage
• The Grid System dynamics, modeling and
  simulation, reliability
• Energy generation, storage, renewables often
  not in ECE
• Chemical Cogeneration, fuel cells, catalysis
• Civil Hydro-generation and -storage
• Mechanical Combustion based generation, wind
  turbines
• Materials Photovoltaics, membranes for fuel
  cells
• Environmental Cleaner coal, carbon
  sequestration, conservation
• IE/Business Markets, trading, credits
• Nuclear Recent resurgence, labor shortage
• Public policy Plant siting, environmental
  regulation
• P dE/dt E
