What is the smart grid? - by Scientific American

[indiage]

I Love The Video It Can Increase My Knowledge Whether we want it or not, the "smart grid" is on its way. In this animated guide we show you the essential features.

Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always Whether we want it or not, the "smart grid" is on its way. In this animated guide we show you the essential features.

I like this idea, it seem's really exciting

[xblbabybaby]

Good!I gonna do something in field of smart grid!

Now thanks to the smart meter, we get to have a forced class 2b carcinogen pulsing throughout our home every 6 to 20 seconds 24/7. Oops!

What the rubish......why dont they introduce Tesla's technology and give us a free energy instead of this control system as an excuse for "saving an energy".....Big Brother is on the move again........

[anamtaj]

thanku so much..this was tons of help to a person like me who just got to know there exists a system called a smart grid!!

the sun radiates and regulates life. Smart Grig EMF ELECTROSMOG should not cannot and will not become a part of my life. get another job.

Smart Grid is the epitome of Communism!

[CaptainRidley]

@jccw2002 not really. It is good science since our entire society needs energy.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

The appeal to clean energy at the end seemed like it was tacked on to make the video as a whole appear like it's meant for greenies...

It seemed hollow IMO :P

[MrJivePirate]

Great, but what about privacy? I'm not wild about the idea that PG&E or somesuch is going to know when I use my appliances.

[StormTeamSpecOp]

@MrJivePirate no one cares when you take a bath or use the mircrowave oven. All they need to know is how much energy you use to adapt their production (use less fuel if you use less energy). Truth is smart meters will really be useful when you will produce your own energy : the plant will immediatly know it and reduce the production so you can actually produce more energy yourselve, and maybe share the extra with your neighbours (which is currently not possible on a global scale).

pretty informativ too....

[leonidas31090]

old power system has to be upgraded for da better use for the available power

[LanceStern2455]

This is the most clearest and informative video I've seen about the Smart Grid and I am very glad you made this video

[italianpolitics]

smart grid tech = radiation on your families.

no joke

[CaptainRidley]

@italianpolitics the sun = radiation on your familes

[brewmaster95060]

THIS IS BULLCRAP

[PertinaciousGeek]

really interesting video, thanks.

for more info on sensors, look up RFID

[acrazyone1]

It's amazing to me that this system has been in place for a hundred plus years. It simply looks inefficient. Maybe the smart grid should cut some fat as well?

[jeebersjumpincryst]

@acrazyone1 yeah, good comment - I have to agree. Needs something, anyway.

[LanceStern2455]

@acrazyone1

Cut some fat? It hasn't fully started yet, they are going to be implementing these things soon.

[acrazyone1]

@LanceStern2455 I meant maybe the smart grid should remove some of the pieces of the old system as well as implement the smart options.
