text: I'm a graduate student of electrical engineering at The Ohio State University that is focusing primarily on power.  Our department has three full-time professors and one emeritus professor in the power area.  Apparently, there are plans to hire one more full-time professor (see link below).  We have a very good course sequence in power electronics, a top-notch high voltage laboratory, an electric motors laboratory, etc.  I do enjoy working and learning here at OSU.\n\nIf you are looking for financial aid such as a paid research associate position, you might have some luck with one of the professors depending on what you want to research (power electronics seems popular in our department right now).  I am paying my way through grad school by being a teaching assistant and helping out in the high voltage laboratory.\n\nIf you are looking for other universities that also have excellent programs in the power sector of electrical engineering, MIT, Purdue, U of Illinois (Champaign) and U of Missouri (Columbia) are also well known for their graduate programs in power.
