Wired Magazine featured a story about the solutions to overcome the hurdles of transforming our current electric grid into the smart efficient grid of the magical world of "tomorrow." Online the story features a 7 part slide with "Ways to fix the grid, now."
Despite the skeptics who look at this overhaul as an unnecessary undertaking, the technology to achieve this change is already here and they have been proven. The key to the change will be overcoming current regulatory obstacles and integrating the system of wires and transformers into a more collaborative national network.
The main feature I took from the article, was a well written historical perspective of why and how utilities were formed and how they developed the grid into what it is today. An effective smart grid will bring a wide range of new information and data that developers from the biggest companies to the smallest living rooms can use to create innovative ways to manage our daily energy usage.
