How to Prevent Blackouts by Packetizing the Power Grid

Cars That Think

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. One is to do a modernized version of what we have done in the past: Build giant, centralized infrastructure.

Report: Japan to Issue Solicitiation for Development of Microwave-Based Space Solar Power System

Green Car Congress

The project will develop technologies to transmit power down to the earth. The idea is to convert solar electricity into microwaves, which would then be converted back into electricity at the surface. The on-ground rectifying antenna would collect the microwave beam and convert it to electricity to connect to commercial power grids.
