2009 Research Portfolio Overview

These research areas are listed according to EPRI's four research sectors—Nuclear, Generation, Power Delivery and Utilization, and Environment. Two "virtual sectors" bring together research from the traditional sectors to show how EPRI is focusing on the increasingly important areas of renewable energy and energy efficiency. EPRI's Technology Innovation research areas focus on longer term research, emerging technologies and multi-discipline areas.
