CEE691/EE699 Seminar in Renewable Energy and Island Sustainability (REIS)

"Smart Grid" is the new buzz word in the utility industry. Some may have seen the GE and IBM television commercials about a Smart Grid for a smarter future. There are many goals that could be achieved with a full implementation of a Smart Grid. In fact, each utility could have their own version of a Smart Grid depending on the issues that need to be resolved.
