Smart Grid Lab

Fourteen local high school students spent a week in August learning about renewable energy from electrical engineering professor Liling Huang and a host of local energy engineering professionals. At the end of the week, the students presented their work, a model town powered entirely by clean energy.  

George Mason's Smart Grid Lab, open one year, is a boon for teaching, learning, research, and outreach.

For developed countries, reliable energy is just that—reliable. But in a changing world, how long can that last? A major conference at Mason’s Schar School will focus on new demands, new infrastructure, and new policies for energy of all types.
