Smart grids and meters enable automatic adaptation to different demand and power flows.
Storm-related power outages are happening more often. More fluctuations in supply and grid system instability mean grids need to be smarter. Smart grids and meters can enable for example automatic adaptation to varying demand and power flows. This would support a more balanced network during both normal and emergency situations such as extreme weather events. A smart grid might also enable more dispersed generation sources and local energy storage. This would strengthen overall system resilience by making reliable back-up power available during power outages. Sunverge provides an energy storage system and software. This automatically collects and stores power from renewable energy sources during the day for peak-time use or when the grid goes down. The company also enables utilities to tie distributed energy resource networks into virtual power plants. During storm alerts the battery systems can then jointly be directed to charge up.
