PSERC is proposing a Phase III support (third five-year period) for the Center, including support for center personnel, evaluation and research. The proposed Center is a multi-university Center comprised of the following universities: Arizona State University (lead), Cornell University, Texas A & M, Howard University, Washington State University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Iowa S ate University, Wichita State University, Georgia Tech, the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, the University of California-Berkeley, and Colorado School of Mines. The proposal from PSERC seeks funding for a Phase III (3rd five-year period) led by Arizona State University (ASU). PSERC had its origin as a multi-university IUCRC in 1996, and was created with the vision that collaboration amongst a large group of academic, industrial, and governmental institutions can develop solutions to the complex problems in electric energy. PSERC (currently comprised of 12 universities) will conduct research organized under three primary research stem areas: markets stem, system stem, and transmission and distribution technologies stem. PSERC leverages the expertise of some 40 multidisciplinary researchers. The PI and all of the other site directors are very well-qualified and have access to appropriate and adequate resources.The proposed work addresses important improvements and advancements in the transmission and delivery of electricity. PSERC has been a leader in in developing several key concepts with regard to the development of electricity markets. PSERC researchers also developed one of the first large scale visualization tools for the electric power industry, and this effort has resulted in the creation of a company that has commercially developed the tool. Over the past six years, PSERC member companies have employed an average of 80 graduate and undergraduate students per year from PSERC universities. In the area of diversity, one of the PSERC member universities is Howard University, a historically black university. PSERC will continue to seek women and minorities through students and faculty at member universities as well as on an individual basis as research associates.

PSERC 提议对该中心进行第三阶段（第三个五年期）支持，包括对中心人员、评估和研究的支持。 拟议的中心是一个多大学中心，由以下大学组成：亚利桑那州立大学（牵头）、康奈尔大学、德克萨斯农工大学、霍华德大学、华盛顿州立大学、威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校、爱荷华州立大学、威奇托大学州立大学、佐治亚理工学院、伊利诺伊大学香槟分校、加州大学伯克利分校和科罗拉多矿业学院。 PSERC 的提案寻求为亚利桑那州立大学 (ASU) 牵头的第三阶段（第三个五年期）提供资金。 PSERC 成立于 1996 年，最初是一个由多所大学组成的 IUCRC，其创建的愿景是通过大量学术、工业和政府机构之间的合作，为复杂的电能问题开发解决方案。 PSERC（目前由 12 所大学组成）将在三个主要研究干领域开展研究：市场干、系统干以及输配电技术干。 PSERC 利用约 40 名多学科研究人员的专业知识。 PI 和所有其他站点主管都非常有资格，并且能够获得适当且充足的资源。拟议的工作涉及电力传输和输送方面的重要改进和进步。 PSERC 在制定有关电力市场发展的几个关键概念方面一直处于领先地位。 PSERC 研究人员还为电力行业开发了第一个大型可视化工具，这一努力催生了一家对该工具进行商业开发的公司。过去六年来，PSERC 成员公司平均每年雇用 80 名来自 PSERC 大学的研究生和本科生。在多样性方面，PSERC 成员大学之一是霍华德大学，这是一所历史悠久的黑人大学。 PSERC 将继续通过成员大学的学生和教师以及个人研究助理来寻找女性和少数族裔。
