When it goes right…

“Thank you so much for organizing such a useful event. I learned a lot of interesting facts at this workshop and had the opportunities to network with the best researchers in the microgrid research area.” “What I would like to see more in the

next events are one day of unofficial networking opportunity with the students to gather and talk about our research, and one day of official meeting with companies which have an active R&D section.”

“I enjoyed Ted’s talk on Princeton university’s micro grid. However, I don’t believe it is the greatest micro grid, as it failed for few minutes during the hurricane, while setting up the relay more efficient and testing the system could help it survive even during that short blackout period.”
