Renewable Energy, Resources and Sustainable Technologies

Smart Grids and Microgrids are forms of advanced electrical systems that shift from a unidirectional and centralized process of generating electricity to an intelligent, bi-directional, and decentralized approach.

A smart grid uses computerized technology for controlling, optimizing, and monitoring the process of generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity.

A microgrid is a smaller version of an electrical grid and can either run independently or work in conjunction with the larger grid system.
