How to Prevent Blackouts by Packetizing the Power Grid

Cars That Think

Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. Instead of drastically scaling up power-grid infrastructure, our work at the University of Vermont has focused on how to coordinate demand in real time to match the increasingly variable supply.
