EESG @ MIT

The Electric Energy Systems Group (EESG) focuses on research related to modeling, control, and communications design of our rapidly changing electric energy system. Our mission is to enable reliable, resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective electric energy service at scale.

We are currently part of MIT’s Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS). Previously, our group was based at Carnegie Mellon University.
