Electrical energy systems are faced new serious economic, environmental, and strategic challenges and restrictions in the start of 21 century. And at present these systems are normally operating very close to their boundary limits, due to those restrictions. On the other hand new achievements in fields of communications, information technology, power electronics, control and instrumentation, internet of things, renewable energy resources, distributed generation, smart grids and their wide applications in all sections of power system have reconfigured the appearance of these systems. Planning for management and control of these systems under these new situations and opportunities, raised new technical and economic concerns which need to be studied deeply. Performing these studies is the mission of this center of excellence.

Mission:
Based on the above vision, this center of excellence selected the following goals as its mission in close future:
- Acquiring the final scientific and technological achievements related to management and control of electrical energy generation, transmission and distribution systems under the developments achievable through micro-grids and smart grids with the fast rise in renewable electric energy resources technologies.
- Answer to the professional requirements and consulting needs of private and national sectors in fields of: operation, management and control, planning and enhancement of quality of electric power system.
- Supporting and persuading the young researchers, activating the existing research establishments in the field of electric power industry through identification of research requirements and fulfilment of major research projects as a response to the national power industries needs or up-to-date worldwide international power system problems which needs new solutions.
