Abstract

The authors present a successful model of industry/university cooperation in establishing a strong power system curriculum in both the graduate and undergraduate level. Numerous long-term and short-term research projects have been developed to satisfy the university mission and to tackle challenging problems facing the power industry. A unique structure for the Clemson University Electric Power Research Association (CUEPRA) has been established to promote electric power system research and to meet the need for a working communication link between the power industry and the academic community. The power industries involvements in the power program at Clemson University and the strategic improvements that have been accomplished in research and education are outlined
