The Division of Electric Energy Systems (EES) has as its primary concern those technologies which are relevant and applicable to the systems aspects of U.S. electric energy systems. EES is developing a broadly based R and D program in electric-energy-system technologies, one which addresses both near-term and longer-range needs. The current EES program includes power-delivery and power-supply integration. Aims of the program are to ensure that the Nation's electric energy system is capable of meeting future demands reliably, with the lowest practicable energy losses, with maximum energy conservation, and in accordance with environmental and National Energy Policy (NEP) principals and policies. To this end, the EES Program focuses on R and D designed to: ensure that all of the elements of future electric energy systems (oil, coal, nuclear, solar, storage, fuel cells, conservation, etc.) are integrated as required to achieve an overall energy-efficient system; ensure the continued availability of the system's capability of delivering electrical energy from the source to the user as needed; develop the system design and control techniques that will be required to maintain reliability as the system increases in size and complexity; accelerate the commercialization of emerging technologies with significant near-term energy benefits; and meet the need for electric energy systems input for national energy policy planning. Environmental and socio-economic considerations are central to this R and D effort. This notice compiles information on on-going projects to meet these objectives.
