The research topics in Policy and Economics cover broadly in all electrical power sectors, as can be listed below:
- Regulation and standardization for smart grid implementation, such as cost-benefit of investments, interoperability of equipment and systems.
- Improvement and evaluation of electricity service standards, which can realize the mission of government and electric utilities to reduce annual electricity outages.
- Optimal penetration of renewable energy and distributed generation into transmission and distribution systems with consideration of utility and customer economics as well as technical concerns.
- Recommendations towards competitive and market environments of power and energy systems, where utilities’ re-structuring including new electrical power productions and services are essentially promoted, such as wheeling charges and ancillary services.
