A Smart Grid for Intelligent Energy Use

A Smart Grid for Intelligent Energy Use:

The Smart Grid involves the use of communications and computing technology to transmit and distribute energy more efficiently. This video describes the smart grid and how it will reduce our carbon footprint through energy efficiency and the integration of renewable sources of energy.

Featuring interviews recorded at the IEEE Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles: Accelerating Innovation Conference (2007) and the IEEE Energy 2030 Conference (2008).

Smart grid (usually) includes massive distributed generation and microgrids. What does it mean? It means that the number of blackouts will be down to almost zero, that energy losses will be extremely low and investements needed in the grid will decrease in the future. Summing up: It improves your country economy. Whether it may be used to make the average joe poorer or not has nothing to do with the technology itself, it has to do with politicians and regulators.

Wait, people actually want to settle for the 100-year old solution rather than embracing the latest technology? Hahaha, ok. Oh and all of you trying to take this thing apart, of course it's not perfect yet! No new technology ever is. It's not like one moment the Wright brothers were in the air for half a second with their prototype and only two years later the first Boeing 747 took to the skies. It will take time and money to iron out the problems, but eventually we will get there.

the role of Telecommunications Engineers or Electrical Communication Engineers is essential

increasing distribution efficiency as opposed to number of power plants is absolutely essential for the 21st century. smarter digital meters, superconducting wires are technologies that must be invested in.

This is a no brainer - we must do this. Not only will this save us trillions of dollars long term and allow us greater access to renewable energy, but it will also create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

This is a no brainer - we must do this. Not only will this save us trillions of dollars long term and allow for greater use of renewable energy, but a bold smart grid program will create hundreds of thousands of jobs right now.

Another scam.
