Questions

  [1] Federal government would like to find the solutions for catastropic events such as hurrican, tornado - Will Microgrid provide this answer ?
  [2] Global warming is caused due to increase in CO2 worldwide and coal power plant is a major contributor - Will renewable generation such as solar and wind provide              global warming solutions ?
  [3] Phasor Measurement Units and Smart Meters have created unprecendented amount of data - Will big data framework such as Hadoop accomodate this data? 
  [4] Renewable generation integration has limited penetration in grid due to intermittent nature - Will demand response at all levels increase renewable penetration ?
  [5] Electric vehicle usage is limited by driving distance due to battery size/life - Will we be able to drive 600 miles in one charge ?
