The Center for Advanced Energy Systems (CAES) is a multidisciplinary center dedicated to the creation, development, and promotion of new technologies and practices in the field of energy systems. The center's mission includes the dissemination of knowledge through education and technology transfer, and providing leadership in shaping present and future of energy policy in the state and nation. This "full service" center has activities in research, education and outreach seeking to increase visibility, awareness, and impact within the state as well as addressing problems of significant national interest.

Faculty associated with the center come from the Departments of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Department, and Civil and Environmental Engineering; The Rutgers Center for Operations Research and the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.

The Center also has a significant impact on students, both in engineering and other related fields. Energy systems are of interest to many engineering disciplines including Chemical, Electrical, Industrial, Mechanical and Materials Science. Other departments within Rutgers currently working in energy systems include environmental science, public policy, the business school and RUTCOR.



The Center operates through program funding from the US Department of Energy, the NJ Board of Public Utilities-Division of Energy, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, and NJ Commerce. This support is gratefully acknowledged.
