Talk:Smart Power Grid

[edit] Advertorial

This needs a complete rewrite to turn it into encyclopædic content. If it were not for the fact that it meets WP:V, it would almost be a speedy candidate. Adrian M. H. 21:56, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

The NPOV tutorial will be reviewed and the article will be re-written accordingly. Any advice on what else needs to be changed to turn it into encyclopædic content would be greatly appreciated.

Shouldn't this page be rename to Smart Power Grid? User:ChardonnayNimeque 22:49, 10 December 2007 (GMT)

Just as a reminder to myself, but also to collect data for improvement of the article. Some features of the smart grid are already present in the dumb grid.

  • E.g. the mechanism to adjust the price of electricity according to the supply and demand is present in a large percentage of the houses in the netherlands. A high price during 5-23.00h at a reduced price, one-third, between 23.00 and 5.00h. Special measurement equipment (see photo!) exist.
  • Possibility for users to not only draw current but also to deliver current from your own generator (solar cells) to the grid. This is however allowed for small amounts of energy in the 'dumb' grid. Larger amount as proposed in the 'hydrogen economy' (Jeremy Rifkin) required dedicated stability control.

Now with picture.

The purpose section should contain a shortdescription of the driving forces:

  • Safety/uptime (black out and so)
  • Decentralized power generation (private power generation via solar/windmills)
  • Flexibility (supply and demand)
