The Wisconsin Power Systems (WISPO) research group is comprised of faculty, graduate researchers and undergraduate students doing research on electric power systems modeling, optimization and control. We are housed in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our team has landed in Madison from all over the world, and we love it.
