Power and Energy Center

Power and Energy Center (PEC) envisions the future power grid as a “Cyber Grid” with four important characteristics: 1) Cyber-physical system, 2) Decentralized decision making, 3) Deployment of power electronics, and 4) Extensive measurements and data/information. The vision requires diverse disciplines including power systems, power electronics, data analytics, cyber security, and resiliency. To strengthen our partnership, PEC collaborates closely with the world class Center for Power Electronics Systems (CPES) and other leading programs at Virginia Tech and beyond.
