Outline Boom-and-bust cycles of electric energy systems education in the United States Difficult initial conditions Societal transformational changes --- implementing sustainable Socio-Ecological Energy Systems (SEES) The transformational role of man-made power grids and its Information Communications Technology (ICT)?
Many boom-and-bust cycles in the US electric energy education Boom #1 : The biggest contribution of the 20 th century – electrification; Well established programs (even entire departments on electric power engineering—RPI). Bust #1: Closing of power engineering programs and labs at leading universities; education and research on life support. Boom #2: Restructuring of electric power industry--- economics, policy disciplines gain recognition. Engineering knowledge assumed. Bust #2: Restructuring problems –markets ``not working’’— they never were designed nor implemented to support physics of electric power grids. Boom #3: Energy and environment emerge as key social goals. Young minds very excited and motivated to make the vision a reality. Bust#3--??? The biggest danger--- overwhelming complexity; change driven by technology breakthroughs, social drivers. A very real danger of not meeting the expectations.
