Faculty Dialogue: The U.S. Power Grid: Resiliency and Sustainability

The U.S. power grid is confronting challenges, including growing external threats, rising consumer demand and aging infrastructure. Addressing these issues will require interventions in the way electricity is stored, transmitted and consumed. Implementing solutions will require time and financial investment.
