Solar energy. Complementary technologies (II): Smart grids

Main Article Content

Abstract

Smart grids differ from conventional electricity grids in that they allow energy and information to flow in two directions: from source to consumer and in reverse. Among other benefits, a smart grid enables active customer participation in regulating their costs; provides options for energy storage in batteries or other devices; and optimises the proper control of power from renewable sources such as solar or wind. Its primary objective is to optimise efficiency and the advantageous use of energy, while being able to prevent possible failures in the electricity grid.
