9

10 1. Reduce electric demand and consumption rural electric communities through research and education 2. Increase power quality the power grid of a rural electric community when distributed energy generation is introduced though engineering analysis 3. Introduce effective feedback methodologies to change consumer behaviors related to electrical energy consumption 4. Investigate all possible scenarios for rural communities to become energy independent 5. Establish continuing research activities where faculty, students, and industry personnel will participate in continuous improvement though exchange programs, applied research, and symposiums Focus Areas
