Fred Lee

Fred Lee

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Read More

Dr. Fred Lee’s research in unit commitment and economic dispatch (UC/ED) revolutionized generation asset optimization techniques and led to the founding of PCI in 1992. His methods allowed utility operators to incorporate fuel constraints, emissions limitations and hydroelectric complications into the already-complex UC/ED problem.

Dr. Lee has a unique ability to leverage academic theory and create practical solutions for the power industry. He joined the faculty at the University of Oklahoma in 1985, where he taught and led research in the areas of optimal power system operation and planning. While still on the OU faculty, he published his original UC/ED research and founded PCI.

Dr. Lee continues to lead PCI today as it further refines and enhances its industry leading software solutions and services.

Dr. Lee’s education credentials are as follows:

  • Diploma, Electrical Engineering -Taipei Institute of Technology
  • M.S., Electrical Engineering – Kansas State University
  • Ph.D., Electrical Engineering – University of Kansas
  • Professor Emeritus, University of Oklahoma
  • Fellow, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
