Power Grid – Upgrade and Expansion
Due to the exponential increase in demand for energy, the United States government is under pressure to modernize a century old power grid. Concepts such as a smart grid, which build a nationwide backbone for energy distribution and also create systems that will enable a two-way flow of power between the regional network and consumers are a part of the new administration's plan to improve the efficiency and supply of energy to North America. Renewable resources will also play a big role moving forward providing a cheaper and more clean form of energy to its many end users. The US Department of Energy was granted more than 4 billion dollars as part of the new stimulus package to expand and upgrade an aging system. This month's feature article discusses the current state of the power grid and what the infrastructure of the United States might look like in the future.
As the need for power grows, the United States is looking at new ideas to improve a power grid that uses out-dated technologies and was built in the 20th century.
