It is now becoming clear that the fundamental architecture of today’s electricity grid, based on the idea of a top down radial transmission system with unidirectional energy flows from large centralized power plants, is not the most appropriate to meet the needs of the low carbon economy. Micro-generation and micro-grids need to be incorporated into the electrical supply system because they can generate from VRS, help balance out supply and demand and make the system more flexible and reliable.
Stay ahead of the pack
with the latest independent smart building research and thought leadership.
