You may scan a copy of your official paper or electronic transcript provided to you from your institution's Registrar. Do not upload your institution's web-based academic record or a document stating it is not an official transcript. Make sure that all critical and identifying marks have been scanned and are legible. These include the institution's name, your name, the names of your courses, and the grades you have received. It is important that you scan both the front and back of your transcript as we will need to be able to review the information provided on the back of your transcript concerning credit hours, the institution's grading scale, etc. Please ensure that your file is in Word (.doc) or PDF format.
For admission, we expect a minimum TOEFL score of 90 (IBT) or IELTS score of 6.5 for admission. Further, TOEFL scores of 20 or greater in Listening, Writing, Speaking, and Reading subsections are required. Some departments may require higher minimum scores.
Students who anticipate appointment as Graduate Teaching Assistants are expected to have scored 25 or greater on the TOEFL Speaking subtest. GTA appointment of a student scoring 20-24 on the Speaking subtest should be justified explicitly within the particular academic unit, appointment of a student scoring below 20 on the Speaking subtest requires justification with the Graduate School.
International applicants are exempt from demonstrating English proficiency if they have graduated from an accredited university where English is the language of instruction or if they are U.S. permanent residents (green card holders). International applicants may demonstrate English proficiency by submitting scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). A minimum TOEFL score of 577 on the paper-based test (PBT) or 90 on the internet-based test (iBT) is required for consideration of the application.
Now that almost everything is computerized, so are the GRE General Test and the GMAT. We no longer administer the paper tests at Virginia Tech. The closest testing centers to Virginia Tech are in Roanoke.
The minimum cumulative grade point average for admission is 3.0 or better, but that requirement may be waived depending on the applicant's professional experience and accomplishments as identified through a holistic review of your application.

课程简介
能源系统研究人员开发设备,模型,仿真和算法来研究和控制配电系统,目的是防止停电,整合可再生能源,并在全球范围内使这一关键基础设施更可靠,更安全。美国的电网正在经历前所未有的变革。风能的高渗透水平和急剧增加的太阳能安装量导致计划,操作,保护和控制的高度复杂的环境。公用事业和住宅规模的储能大规模部署正在增加。风能,太阳能设备和存储设备需要电力电子设备才能连接到AC电网,尽管DC电网也已成为人们关注的主题。此外,电网与其他关键基础设施(例如天然气和水网络)的依赖性越来越大,这就要求对资源进行协调调度。电网通常是
Energy Systems researchers develop devices, models, simulations, and algorithms to study and control the power distribution system, with the goal of preventing blackouts, integrating renewable energy, and making this critical infrastructure more reliable and more secure around the world. The power grids in the U.S. are undergoing an unprecedented transformation. High penetration levels of wind power and sharply increasing installations of solar energy lead to a highly complex environment for planning, operation, protection, and control. Large-scale deployment of energy storage at the utility and residential scale is increasing. Wind and solar energy devices and storage require power electronics for their connection to the AC grid, although DC grid has become a subject of significant interest as well. Moreover, the increasing dependencies of electric power grids with other critical infrastructures, such as natural gas and water networks, call for coordinated scheduling of resources. Power grids are generally reliable, however, they become vulnerable with respect to extreme events such as major hurricanes, earthquakes, and cyber attacks. In this context, resiliency of the smart grid is an important research area. For the last decade, microgrids are maturing as a resource to enhance resiliency if and when the grid is unavailable for an extended period of time.
