PSERC is proposing a Phase III support (third five-year period) for the Center, including support for center personnel, evaluation and research. The proposed Center is a multi-university Center comprised of the following universities: Arizona State University (lead), Cornell University, Texas A & M, Howard University, Washington State University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Iowa S ate University, Wichita State University, Georgia Tech, the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, the University of California-Berkeley, and Colorado School of Mines. The proposal from PSERC seeks funding for a Phase III (3rd five-year period) led by Arizona State University (ASU). PSERC had its origin as a multi-university IUCRC in 1996, and was created with the vision that collaboration amongst a large group of academic, industrial, and governmental institutions can develop solutions to the complex problems in electric energy. PSERC (currently comprised of 12 universities) will conduct research organized under three primary research stem areas: markets stem, system stem, and transmission and distribution technologies stem. PSERC leverages the expertise of some 40 multidisciplinary researchers. The PI and all of the other site directors are very well-qualified and have access to appropriate and adequate resources.The proposed work addresses important improvements and advancements in the transmission and delivery of electricity. PSERC has been a leader in in developing several key concepts with regard to the development of electricity markets. PSERC researchers also developed one of the first large scale visualization tools for the electric power industry, and this effort has resulted in the creation of a company that has commercially developed the tool. Over the past six years, PSERC member companies have employed an average of 80 graduate and undergraduate students per year from PSERC universities. In the area of diversity, one of the PSERC member universities is Howard University, a historically black university. PSERC will continue to seek women and minorities through students and faculty at member universities as well as on an individual basis as research associates.

PSERC正在为该中心提出第三阶段支持（第三个五年期），包括对中心人员、评估和研究的支持。该中心是一个由以下大学组成的多所大学中心：亚利桑那州立大学（领先）、康奈尔大学、德克萨斯a & M大学、霍华德大学、华盛顿州立大学、威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校、爱荷华州立大学、威奇托州立大学、佐治亚理工学院、伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳香槟分校、加州大学伯克利分校和科罗拉多矿业学院。PSERC的提案为由亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）领导的第三阶段（第三个五年期）寻求资金。PSERC起源于1996年由多所大学组成的IUCRC，其成立的愿景是与一大批学术、工业和政府机构合作，为电力领域的复杂问题制定解决方案。PSERC（目前由12所大学组成）将根据三个主要研究领域进行研究：市场系统、系统和输配电技术系统。PSERC利用了大约40名多学科研究人员的专业知识。PI和所有其他现场主任都非常合格，并有机会获得适当和充分的资源。拟议的工作涉及电力传输和交付方面的重要改进和进步。PSERC在发展电力市场的几个关键概念方面一直处于领先地位。PSERC的研究人员还为电力行业开发了第一批大规模可视化工具之一，这一努力导致了一家公司的成立，该公司已对该工具进行了商业开发。在过去的六年中，PSERC成员公司平均每年从PSERC大学雇佣80名研究生和本科生。在多元化方面，PSERC的成员之一是霍华德大学，这是一所历史悠久的黑人大学。PSERC将继续通过成员大学的学生和教师以及在个人基础上寻求妇女和少数民族作为研究助理。
