Dawn of the Urban Microgrid

In this episode, Marty talks with Dr. Shay Bahramirad who is the
Vice President of Engineering and Smart Grid at ComEd in Chicago.
The subject is ComEd's urban microgrid project. The micorgrid's
software evaluates the state of the system and determines what
resources to draw upon to keep the grid up and running during any
kind of event. Dr. Bahramirad explains how the technology
can help the grid withstand the impacts of climate change and how
they are designing the community of the future.

Dr. Bahrminrad joined ComEd in 2013. She earned a PhD in
electrical engineering from Illinois Institute of Technology.
