The US Department of Energy lists five technologies that will drive the adoption of the smart grid. The first is: Improved interfaces and decision support, to amplify human decision-making, transforming grid operators and managers quite literally into visionaries when it come to seeing into their systems.

The first is: Advanced control methods, to monitor essential components, enabling rapid diagnosis and [=-precise solutions appropriate to any event. Source: US DOE “The Smart Grid: An Introduction.” PR: wait… As quoted in the LA Times, the Electric Power Research Institute (a utility industry think tank) estimates that the cost of building a smart grid at $165 billion. That’s $8 billion a year for two decades. PR: wait… The US Department of Energy lists five technologies that will drive the adoption of the smart grid. The third is: Advanced components, to apply the latest research in superconductivity, storage, power electronics and diagnostics Source: US DOE “The Smart Grid: An Introduction.” PR: wait… The generation of electricity emits 40% of the carbon dioxide in the US. Only 20% of emissions is caused by the transportation sector. Let’s hope that a smarter grid will reduce our electricity’s CO2 generation. PR: wait… The US Department of Energy lists five technologies that will drive the adoption of the smart grid. The second is: Sensing and measurement technologies, to support faster and more accurate response such as remote monitoring, time-of-use pricing and demand-side management. Source: US DOE “The Smart Grid: An Introduction.” PR: wait… According to the US DOE, consumers want some pretty basic stuff from smart grid technologies: Consumers are not interested in sitting around for an hour a day to change how their house uses energy; what they will do is spend two hours per year to set their comfort, price and environmental preferences – enabling collaboration with [...] The current state of the energy grid is sadly inadequate in the level of visibility and situational awareness. One of the most important smart grid applications will be better visibility and visualization tools. According to an article by Jesse Berst, some of the key features that will be brought to the energy grid by improved [...] The US Department of Energy lists five technologies that will drive the adoption of the smart grid. The first is: Integrated communications, connecting components to open architecture for real-time information and control, allowing every part of the grid to both ‘talk’ and ‘listen.’ Source: US DOE “The Smart Grid: An Introduction.” PR: wait… The smart grid will require several types of energy storage – both Power Oriented Storage and Energy Oriented Storage. New energy production plus a smarter grid will enable the Energy Oriented Storage market to grow rapidly. Power Oriented Storage is most often associated with frequency regulation. Production of fast energy storage in 2009 is estimated at [...] |
