Smart Grid—Opportunities and Challenges in the Creation of the 21st-Century Power Grid
نویسنده
چکیده
Dr. Rajit Gadh presented some major challenges and tech nologies required to make the US electric grid smart and more efficient, given that energy consumption is rapidly increasing and becoming more expensive. One critical issue is the inflexibility of the current grid system, whose structure assumes a unidirectional flow of power, control, and information. For instance, power generation has a flat profile, but the consumption has typically timevarying be havior. UCLA’s Smart Grid Energy Research Center (http://smartgrid.ucla.edu/) proposes a grid structure that is much more flexible, integrating aspects of power generation and consumption.
