Description
| The Smart Grid is evolving into a network of new technologies, equipment, and controls that, working together, will be able to respond immediately to the demand for electricity in the twenty-first century. Electrical contractors will need to be aware of these new markets as the Federal Smart Grid Initiative is implemented because, as consumers are able to obtain information and manage their energy usage, it is expected they will elect to install customer-side solutions. |
