Energy Systems Research
Energy systems research is within the overall program area of energy engineering at Dartmouth aimed at increasing the efficiency of energy conversion, storage, transmission, and utilization, accelerating the transition to sustainable energy sources, and improving access to and management of energy systems.
Energy systems are comprised of interacting technological, environmental, economic, and social systems related to the production, conversion, transport, and use of energy. Designing, planning, and operating energy systems presents important engineering challenges due to their complexity, dynamic behavior, and need to balance multiple objectives such as sustainability, reliability, and affordability. This interdisciplinary field addresses real-world problems such as grid modernization, renewable integration, electrification, low-carbon energy transitions, and climate resilience.
