Smart Grid for Non-Engineers

The smart grid is here to stay, where consumers are now able to generate their own electricity by installing solar panels on their roof. The smart grids are a comprehensive network system whereby the consumer can sell their electricity surplus to the utilities authority. This green and clean renewable energy are equipped with photo voltaic cells, inverters, storage batteries, smart meters, and a charging outlet for electric cars.

On a bigger scale corporation can erect wind turbine towers to generate electricity. This production of electricity is massive and sustainable. These renewable energies can be interconnected to the main grid to compliment the utilities demand and supply of electricity.
