Power Systems Faculty
The science and engineering disciplines that contribute to the study, design, and operation of the modern power system have diversified dramatically.
Clemson University's College of Engineering, Computing, and Applied Sciences (CECAS), specifically the Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) employs faculty members in a variety of areas that contribute to power systems topics.
Modern power system research incorporates communications, electronics, and intelligent systems areas as well as the more traditional power system analysis, power system protection, and power system transient and dynamic stability studies.
Please visit the Research section of the ECE Department page to find faculty members in the various research areas. Each faculty member has his or her own page detailing areas of interest and research work.
