"A new concept – the “grid of grids” – is revolutionising the way we think
about energy.
In essence, the grid of grids signifies a shift from a single unified energy
network to a collection of smaller networks, capable of operating together or
independently as required. It can create a flexible and resilient energy
infrastructure that could help contribute to a sustainable future.
In our recent research, we explored the integration of smaller-scale renewable
energy systems (microgrids) with a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs).
Under the grid of grids concept, national and international energy
infrastructure would become part of a dynamic network. Each point in this
network would represent a smaller hub – a community, town or even business
district.
EVs would be part of this network, not merely extracting power but actively
participating in a reciprocal energy exchange. This approach turns every EV
into a decentralised power unit, capable of contributing to and benefiting from
the broader energy system.
But how can communities achieve this? Smart community energy solutions are the
key."
I’d love to do this - I’ve been saying so for many years. I already have the
solar panels and EV.
