The core framework of the nation's electrical grid was established in the late 19th century. Considering that, it should come as no surprise that the power grid has become functionally obsolete. It is no longer capable of addressing the unique demands and challenges of a next-generation power infrastructure. To address these critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, the concept of a new Smart Grid was introduced. |
